Episode description

Shark attacks are terrifying; on that I think we all agree.  So are sharks therefore 'terrorists'?  If a Michigan state attorney can charge a 15-year old school shooter who 'terrified' his classmates with terrorism where does this all end? Borealis looks at the worrisome recent tendency to attach the 'terrorism' label to lots of events which have nothing to do with terrorism.
