That guy that murdered Dr. Tiller was not charged as a terrorist in 2009.
Fucking USA make up your mind.
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.
This is logically consistent if you view things from a capitalist christian theocratic perspective.
Or, as the kids say, as an arrogant hypocritical piece of shit perspective.
It's technically terrorism, but so is literally any crime enforcement. You're supposed to be afraid to harm others because you'll be harmed back. We shouldn't be giving a free pass to the rich, especially when they put their crimes in their resume. We don't need a trial for that.
"Put crimes in their resumes." I like that. I intend to steal it and use it as my own. It's the highest form of flattery. You're welcome.
What an actual joke
I'm not simping for Luigi but charging him under terrorism is quite ridiculous
DA's and whoever else has their prosecutorial hands on this are always going apeshit with charges. Stealing a Twinkie from the gas station will get you 8 counts of theft-by-taking and, shit, probably terrorism too if they think it'll either get you to plea to something and / or they think they can make their name with the case and screw you for living.
They're supposed to be finding and delivering justice, but it's always just cruel idiots trying to prove they're big, important people. Well. Not always but most often.
Because "rich fuck" isn't a protected class so they can't charge with hate crime.
I don't see how this can stick, there was no intent to cause terror, it was surgically precise. Assassination maybe, if they want to be transparent about who is actually running the US.
there was no intent to cause terror
Surely you must see how false this is. 100% of the comments praising this have referenced some form of class-based revolutionary fervor, gleeful that the rich will now quake in their boots.
A killing meant to manipulate others by fear is terrorism.
You are ascribing intent. Now prove it in court.
Only enemies of the bourgeoisie are terrorists apparently.
I mean, if you consciously, deliberately kill a member of a people to instill fear in the rest of that people, you are indeed a terrorist.
If you are enemy of a group of civilians, you are a terrorist.
To me this looks like:
Criminalizing the victims (who then emulated Batman) of their own predatory system
Congrats, the world will now probably view all CEOs as real life supervillains
Edit:
I don't think they realize that this will probably Streisand effect this and everything related to this.They're probably hoping that calling him a terrorist will blunt the public's support of him?
it's not gonna work because nobody sees it that way except the handful of ceos shitting their pants rn
We only have a concept of a decent country
oh man. If that goes through then kinda like copycat killings, we can have copycat terrorisms.
terrorism against who
There you go Italians, you ARE a minority!
