Terrorism straight up just means “violence but offensive to the particular sensitivities of the elite.”
What are they even doing in school these days?

they are really this stupid. they thought “lets just throw in the word terrorism so it sounds veeery serious and people will stop rooting for him”

The terrorism charge is because that’s the only way New York state can charge first degree murder. Weird as hell law.

They want to punish him harder than the law would allow so they’re charging him with something he clearly didn’t do? Am I understanding that correctly?
There are plenty of weird laws out there, but if the state is going to pull tricks like this, then do the laws mean anything or are they just weapons to be redefined at will?

Looks like a nice album cover.

Clearly the aforementioned schools are not teaching law or idiots like you might realize the murder charges are state specific.

What is terrorism? And why does the United States support it?
…and a public option is extreme?

Terrorism is one option of a handful of prerequisites for a First Degree Murder Charge in New York State, which Luigi is being charged with.
If he had killed a person in another state he likely wouldn’t have Terrorism included in his charges despite it being the same crime.

That’s some good shit.

“Sentencing”, as in determining a sentence for a crime. Still incorrect, though, since he was only charged at this point, not sentenced.

Completely agree. If I was the headline writer I’d have considered myself fucking brilliant but held it back because he isn’t sentenced and it’s inaccurate.
But then I thought deeper and considering the terror charge, image above, and US justice system - and decided maybe it is accurate that he’s effectively sentenced.
