anti italian racism was retired too soon smh
Okay lemme understand it.
"Terrorism" is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.
But what he did made the population happy.
So... shouldn't it be considered that he provided a public service?
That is not the definition of terrorism.
Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature
By that definition the entire federal government are terrorists lol
Park rangers are terrorists for telling me not to share my picnic baskets with the bears

Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.
Unfortunately implied by the "criminal" part of the definition
Violent, criminal acts
As the violence enacted by the state is supposedly supported by the laws they legislate, they get to skirt out of terrorism designation by being definitionally unable to commit "criminal" acts when they commit violent ones

A very wide, very vague, very useful definition for a prosecutor.
I am a jaywalker, and this is my manifesto. We will not obey the little green man. The red hand will not contain us.
Every step we take is a middle finger to your order, a crack in your illusion of control. We disrupt your flow, we shatter your calm, and we dare your machines to stop us. Your brakes screech, your tempers flare, and your systems falter—all because we walked.
You call it unsafe. We call it liberation. You call it reckless. We call it revolution.
We are the chaos in your commute, the stress in your steering wheel, and the violence in your precious order.
We are jaywalkers. Your streets will never be safe again.

I’m joining the war on terror 
that would suggest the rich people are feeling terrorised rn
silver linings i guess
well i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance
They will almost certainly ask them questions about biases regarding health insurance during jury selection and somehow manage to find 12 law-loving, boot-licking people who've never been screwed over by insurance, don't have any negative feelings towards insurance companies because of someone they know being screwed over. I mean it would really be as simple as finding a dozen retired boomers who held union jobs with good benefits all their lives, are retired on cushy amounts of retirement funds, and are absolutely law and order freaks.

*commits second degree homicide
nyc: 
is this terrorism?
NYC couldn't spot terrorism if it crashed straight into a buulding.
That's why they needed the second one.

CNN was just on before gnashing their teeth at social media having solidarity with Luigi, 5 steps away from yelling out "I am Brian Thompson!"
All I'm saying is that terrorists are a lot browner than this kid
Does this mean he'll be tried as an "enemy combatant" with no rights instead of a criminal?
Legally, no. But given the circumstances, who knows what they'll try.

Terrorism is a weird way to say self defence
Really showing their cards on this one.
C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it's "please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance".
Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.
Personal medical piss off this last week -
Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.
Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I'm on my 2nd of 3 doses and it's fully covered and it's a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It's basically a cancer vaccine. You'd think it's cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don't know if it's because he's over the 'recommended age' by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because 
. I'm going to have to call and find out WTF the

I had a thought that this guy is a spook. Private school kid, Gilman graduates are senators and governors, son of rich people from Maryland, father owns a country club, mother runs a travel company, he lived in a surfing community in Hawaii but left because of ?back pain?...
I'm saying he's in the system.
oh you mean he's a fed?
scuse me
All assassinations are federal conspiracies, nothing real happens unless the deep state gives the a okay on it
