It's hard to label any of this stuff. The old-school definition of terrorist requires some kind of political goal I think, but then you have to figure out what "political goal" means.
I'm really making snap judgments based on almost no information but the Boston marathon bombers strike me as more similar to the Columbine shooters than the South Carolina kid and the Connecticut school shooter. But they're all different than the 9/11 hijackers.
