How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Because it's making the CEOs and politicians Terrified.

Because the ruling class is terrified

[–] [email protected] 104 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Because they don't like him.

I mean Dylan fucking Roof shot dead 9 black people and they didn't consider it terrorism.

"They're making us CEO's afraid, terrified even, so he's clearly a terrorist. The implication that the working class could actually fight back against the systemic oppression we inflict on them? That's horrifying. We can't allow them to believe they could ever fight back. Make an example of this person."

The rich assholes or something

Crimes against the ruling class are more harshly punished than crimes against the plebs.

See, his mistake was not killing him during a Career Day at an elementary school. If he took out kids as well, he wouldn't get a terrorism charge.

Ruthless CEOs and other greedy, rich scumbags, of course.

So this is terrorism but they refuse to give terrorism charges to local militias?

[–] [email protected] 117 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They also don't charge people who blow up abortion clinics with terrorism either. They haven't since the 60s - 70s.

If you look it up the courts have been petitioned several times to associate abortion clinic bombings with Christian terrorism but they keep refusing to call it what it is.

After reading about that fiasco I have very little faith our government actually has a working definition of terrorism that doesn't shift at their convenience.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

Hardly shocking that the christofascist courts of America refuse to classify abortion clinic bombings as domestic terrorism.

CEO's: Second degree murder is the highest you can charge him with for killing a CEO in NY? But we want to torture him and make an example of him so the proles don't get uppity!

DA: No problem sirs, we can make that happen.

It's been curious to see the number of major media pundits doing the "Wonder how long his pretty little face will last in prison?" jokes while his fellow inmates are vocally supporting him

Really lets you know which side everyone is lining up on.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 3 days ago (10 children)

the definition of terrorism from the FBI is very... vague

Here's an exerpt from the declaration of Independence :3

Let’s hope the jury disagrees

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They charged him with terrorism so a regular jury won't get to make that decision. It will be a federal grand jury of selected stooges, and maybe even a secret court.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A federal grand jury isn't a replacement for a regular federal trial jury. They're completely different things. A grand jury decides if there is a strong enough case to take the charges to trial, or if they should just be dismissed. When a grand jury isn't used, the trial judge makes that determination themselves. I agree that the terrorism charge will affect how the trial is conducted, but I don't know enough on that topic to comment further.

Was he actually Italian though? As in, speaking Italian, having an Italian passport etc.? Y'all Americans have weird definitions of nationality, just having a foreign sounding last name isn't really enough...

[–] [email protected] 78 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When someone from America says they Italian or whatever they aren't talking about nationality, it's about ancestry, where your family came from not what county you were born in

[–] [email protected] 72 points 3 days ago (5 children)

No no no no........it's about what kind of food your mom cooked when you were a kid.

Which makes me.......uhhhhhh........clown? I don't know. She bought a lot of McDonalds.

Thanks to fucking Patriot Act. The SS and NKVD bullshit should be repealed.

Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi's case and makes his defense better?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

Yes because it specifically allows examining his motive from a political angle which allows the defense to question the character of the guy he shot, which increases the chance of nullification.
