That guy that murdered Dr. Tiller was not charged as a terrorist in 2009.

Fucking USA make up your mind.

This is logically consistent if you view things from a capitalist christian theocratic perspective.

The Charleston church shooting, also known as the Charleston church massacre, was an anti-black mass shooting and hate crime that occurred on June 17, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine people were killed, and one was injured, during a Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in the Southern United States. Among the fatalities was the senior pastor, state senator Clementa C. Pinckney. All ten victims were African Americans.

That white supremacist was not charged as a terrorist either.
