Only enemies of the bourgeoisie are terrorists apparently.

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.

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.

What an actual joke

I'm not simping for Luigi but charging him under terrorism is quite ridiculous

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

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.

It means CEOs/politicians are terrified.

That, and they're gonna try and get him sent to supermax if he's convicted, just to kill his spirit.

We can only hope he gets a good lawyer.

The fundraiser is up to $120k now. I hope that's enough for a good law firm.

So, it works? Good to know.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 hours ago

They're probably hoping that calling him a terrorist will blunt the public's support of him?

[–] Grass 13 points 7 hours ago

oh man. If that goes through then kinda like copycat killings, we can have copycat terrorisms.
