In the movie it's specifically stated that all the buildings were emptied.
you do realize that blowing up a building whether or not it's occupied is terrorism right lol
Why can't it just be vandalism?
Because terrorism involves the pursuit of political gain.
It's like second and first degree murder, for example: John Doe killed Jane after months of planning - First Degree Murder John Doe killed Jane in a sudden outburst - Second Degree Murder
And what political gain is there in this scenario?
Also that analogy doesn't make sense in this scenario, at all.
It's the President's home in NY, you figure it out.
As for the analogy, I was saying that the outcome of the crimes may be the same, but the motivation is different so the charges are too.
I still don't understand what the political gain would be from destroying a private residence/business, especially if it were entirely evacuated. ---
