I think of terrorism as a violent attack with the purpose of making a broader, political point.
I don't know, Ferguson may fit this. I think it's hard to differentiate the mob mentality stuff we see after sports wins with the political violence/destruction, but I think the latter is part of it.

There is no reasonably recognized definition of terrorism that includes relatively uncoordinated mob violence and looting.

Maybe I should have said "preplanned, coordinated attack..."
I wouldn't count the Ferguson protests/looting as any sort of political terrorism as it has been traditionally recognized.
