Did any January 6th people get terrorism charges? I'm curious.
No but some of them beat the police officer to death with a fire hydrant. The entire thing was completely fucking insane.
Real terror is hearing that the company you pay for health insurance has decided that you'll die a slow painful death because the shareholders need new yachts.
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Things that terrify me:
-
- The US government in 2025
-
- The US government in 2024
-
- The risk that my health insurance company won't cover something important.
- ...
-
- My DM's cat, who thinks playtime means claws out.
"Luigi Mangione" is not on the list.
"Being killed by a Luigi Mangione copycat" is not on the list.
Not terrorized by Luigi or any copycats here. I have empathy and thus will likely never have a chance to make anywhere near enough money to ever be a "target".
It’s all projection
These healthcare companies are terrorizing us
But where's their charge for killing lots and lots of people? So ironic.
Don't forget all the whistleblowers sudden 'suicides'
I think the word you're looking for is "hypocritical".
