I voted for Jill Stein, don’t blame me
Please tell me this is a joke.
Nope, they were adamantly campaigning here the whole time.
Oof! Ha ha
PD: How do I ban people who post hard truths?
It pretty neatly fits the definition of (individual) terrorism (which doesn't really exist). It was an act of violence, not based on personal grievance with the direct victim, but based on grievance with the system he represented. But, yeah, they probably wouldn't ever pull that when someone gets murdered for racist reasons, which you could also classify as terrorism.
🎶 Because it's about class and not about justice. 🎶
For what it's worth, we do have hate crime laws that are supposed to be used in cases where racism is at play. I'm not saying it's always used, but we do have additional penalties for it.
Seemed pretty personal to me. The ceo was directly responsible for years of painfor this man.
This is kinda the OG definition of terrorism actually. Back when 19th century anarchists invented this hot new direct action political tactic called terrorism. It was all the rage, for a while, but it backfired and increased public sympathy towards the bourgeoisie and the nobility.
They are terrified. He did terrorize their class. So maybe just maybe being a terrorist isn’t bad, it depends on who you terrorize?
The only difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is your point of view.
Yeah, trying to upcharge this from murder to "terrorism" is going to backfire spectacularly in the prosecutor's face.
This is because the Government with Republicans and Neo Liberals are about business interests over the American people. People need to just start sharing their denials from United healthcare every time they right a piece how Luigi is evil. So tired of this bullshit. And here is another thought pro lifers need to start protesting for universal healthcare to be consistent.
They'll make it illegal to share "sensitive information" like healthcare insurance denials, and they'll punish you for releasing your own sensitive information.
And then they'll go after anyone reposting it for violating your rights, they'll charge them on your behalf regardless of whether you protest that you don't want to charge them.
They'll violate you in weird ways.
These charges are being brought up in a state controlled by Democrats.
They want to make Luigi an example. "Don't do what he did, he's being quickly processed with terrorism added to the charges. You don't wanna be a terrorist do you?"
... and in other news: Insurance CEOs are some of the best human beings walking on this Earth! Just this morning, one of them gave $50 to a homeless person who lost everything paying a hospital bill. What a golden heart!
Both are awful. There's too many guns in this country.
Nah, CEOs dying is beautiful.
Defending CEOs is awful.
That's a sick and disgusting attitude. Blocking you.

Who exactly is terrified here?
Shareholders.
Billionaires want to be both political and non-political. They want to be the average person who "worked hard to get where they are without help" and they want to be the special upper class who deserves special protection when one of their own gets shot.
This is very close to them admitting that class warfare is real.
Wont be surprised if he ends up executed. Can only hope that people learn something from this
The death penalty is outlawed in New York, isn’t it? Not that he can’t have an “accident” or some shit in prison.
He won't make it to trial. He'll get the Epstein treatment.
I just saw that! At the time I was making my comment I thought, “or they add federal charges,” but I didn’t think it was going to happen. Shows how useless it is to outlaw the death penalty on the state level when the federal government can selectively apply the death penalty in state level cases.
Death penalty is aways available for those who attack capital in a capitalist state. Laws are just words when they are against true power
That might be a good thing, because making a terrorism charge stick ~~is going to be~~ should in a just world be really really difficult.
I thought you could just mutter terrorism under your breath and then say 9/11 and stick them in a cell forever.
I mean, terrorism is just politically motivated violence.
This country was founded by terrorists.
