They are terrified. He did terrorize their class. So maybe just maybe being a terrorist isn’t bad, it depends on who you terrorize?

That might be a good thing, because making a terrorism charge stick ~~is going to be~~ should in a just world be really really difficult.

Is it a separate charge?

He can still be convicted for 1st degree.

It pretty neatly fits the definition of (individual) terrorism (which doesn't really exist). It was an act of violence, not based on personal grievance with the direct victim, but based on grievance with the system he represented. But, yeah, they probably wouldn't ever pull that when someone gets murdered for racist reasons, which you could also classify as terrorism.

For what it's worth, we do have hate crime laws that are supposed to be used in cases where racism is at play. I'm not saying it's always used, but we do have additional penalties for it.

Yeah, trying to upcharge this from murder to "terrorism" is going to backfire spectacularly in the prosecutor's face.

Let's hope. But as we all know truth is financially dictated in our "justice" system, so it is a gamble.

I love how they media seems shocked whenever they find Americans who have been radicalized, when one of their counterparts have been radicalized Americans for the last handful of decades.

That's on purpose - by acting shocked they expect viewers to react the same way. It's essentially telling their audience how to feel about the story without outright saying "you should feel like this".

What a shocking surprise. Why stop there? Why not charge him with genocide? Bring him to The Hague and charge him with war crimes?

Billionaires are reading this post and thoughtfully taking notes.

Because all the dainty little devils are terrified

Who do we charge with terrorism for people being forced to watch their loved ones die from preventable causes that were denied treatment and cures by insurance companies? Asking for some revolutionaries I might or might not know.

Rumor has it, if you say, "deny, defend, depose" in your phone 3 times, you'll get charged with terrorism too. Hopefully you're an American citizen or else it's off to Guantanamo bay for you.

If you say "Gitmo Bay" three times in the mirror, a dark universe Obama appears and snatches you.
