@IanDSmith Well because he's not a mere school shooter. He's a terrorist. It's a very different crime that he committed.
@volkris But the white guy who shot several black people at a church, hoping to start a race war, wasn't a terrorist?
@IanDSmith in general the vague intent to kick off social unrest doesn't match legal definitions of terrorism.
Terrorism generally requires a strategy to use violence to coerce personal goals, for example legislative action.
It's sounding like Luigi killed the CEO to try to pressure changes to the healthcare system. Very different from simply trying to start a race war.
@IanDSmith I don't know why you think it's a struggle.
It seems like the guy has pretty much confessed, so there's no struggle at all. There's just the question about why he doesn't proudly own what he did.
Why fight it? Proudly say, yes, I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do, if that's his stance.
@volkris They're struggling to make an example of him. It's pathetic.
