Yeah, but now IMPORTANT people are scared. /s

rinosrule.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yup. The Obama DoJ and Eric Holder back then really dropped the ball!

manneefpv.bsky.social•67 days ago

dylan roof wasn't a threat to the ruling corporate elite

nightlunch.bsky.social•67 days ago

were they CEOs

jasonduvall.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m not a lawyer, but if killing one CEO can be legally construed as a terrorist act - can’t the actions of a CEO that resulted in the deaths of citizens also be seen as terrorist activity? He may as well been flying a plane into a building.

realchrispeterson.bsky.social•67 days ago

No.

pleasedothenerdful.bsky.social•67 days ago

By my math, UHC has about 28% of the American health insurance market, and that market kills about 68,000 Americans a year, so UHC kills about 19,000 Americans a year.

Roughly one 9/11 every 60 days.

So your metaphor is only accurate if he was doing one plane every month.

smbrnsn.bsky.social•67 days ago

No.

Also, you have to look at specific statutes (which differ between South Carolina and NY, where the respective crimes occurred). I suspect that the definition of “terrorism” differs between the states.

lionroo.bsky.social•67 days ago

If you kill sometime with the intent to spread a message or hatred, juries have been tougher.

Man who murdered John Lennon? He has been told he is never getting out on parole simply because he knew he was taking a world icon.

lionroo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Targeting somebody of such massive importance with a message that other people of massive importance should now fear for their lives?

That is spreading fear/terror.

What CEOs are doing to us is also bad! So don’t think I’m backing them.

joanne2000.bsky.social•65 days ago

This is systemic racism in full view.

bingo46.bsky.social•67 days ago

Because the DA agreed with him.

catlurd.bsky.social•67 days ago

Did those 9 Black persons ever deny you health care and rake in millions for themselves?
That's the difference. Protected classes.

dickius.bsky.social•67 days ago

That’s so weird that he wasn’t charged under the New York Penal Law

mbletst.bsky.social•67 days ago

... which is the same statute as federal law, which is what roof was charged under.

dickius.bsky.social•67 days ago

The New York Penal Law is not, in fact, a part of the United States Code.

mbletst.bsky.social•67 days ago

it's almost like they're worded the same because that's how laws work or something

dickius.bsky.social•67 days ago

It’s a shame they didn’t throw the book at Roof.

bigtim06.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah… beyond the racial aspects, this is oligarchy enforcing obeyance.

justrelax70.bsky.social•67 days ago

☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼!!!!!

erulux.bsky.social•67 days ago

Because it wasn't ultra-rich people that died. It's inequity that flares as bright as a nuclear flash.

pilot2969.bsky.social•67 days ago

It’s only terrorism if the targets were white and wealthy.

asperasbompar.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is facile. Roof was given a death penalty prosecution. The spoiled greaseball will never face that in New York.

howdoipunch.bsky.social•67 days ago

That's good though. Death penalty shouldn't exist.

dolomitemick.bsky.social•67 days ago

But he was sentenced to death nevertheless.

torrleonard.bsky.social•66 days ago

He should have been.

jillharness.bsky.social•66 days ago

Absolutely.

drgeophysics.bsky.social•67 days ago

Outrageous then, outrageous now.

Pretty sure everyone here knows that’s a “feature not a bug” of capitalism

Race war = low wages

Class war = high wages

leobred86.bsky.social•67 days ago

The White community people relishes in its barbarism. Whether they choose to acknowledge it or not.

annarompage.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don’t belive any school shooter has been charged with terrorism either

kdunham4peace.bsky.social•67 days ago

That's my home state and these wierdos know which states don't have hate crime laws.

kdunham4peace.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ever heard of Jamin Fite?

sviscusi.bsky.social•67 days ago

Try learning about ny state law and how the different degrees apply. Maybe you won't spout such ignorant bullshit in the future.

pupgir.bsky.social•66 days ago

Curious how you didn't make any effort to explain where they got it wrong... just went straight to condescension without any substance

sviscusi.bsky.social•65 days ago

It wouldn't matter. The op just wants internet clout even at the cost of being an ignorant moron.

If he actually cared, he could have done a very simple Google search, which would have told them that nys law requires special circumstances.

deadlizardqueen.bsky.social•67 days ago

That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. How's that boot taste?

chiefkyiv.bsky.social•67 days ago

They are different states with different laws. The Buffalo, NY shooter was also charged with terrorism.

You know that site isn't allowed in hight education papers?

keithpurtell.bsky.social•67 days ago

Every elitist accusation is a confession. Health insurance companies are charging resisters with terrorism, and all the while they have been practicing terrorism on Americans.

hugoskavez.bsky.social•67 days ago

This fucking country

lozaloom.bsky.social•67 days ago

i prefer hate crimes change to domestic terrorism crimes as that is what they are.

howdoipunch.bsky.social•67 days ago

Almost like there are two justice systems in america: one for the rich and powerful and the one for everyone else. They only intermingle when the former wants to put a finger on the scale for the latter.

asperasbompar.bsky.social•67 days ago

Dylann Roof is literally on death row.

howdoipunch.bsky.social•67 days ago

Okay, and?

asperasbompar.bsky.social•67 days ago

Please, enlighten me: do you think there a sentence that is worse than death, that is unique to the charge of terrorism?

howdoipunch.bsky.social•67 days ago

Do you think it's the sentence being discussed here?

handstitched.bsky.social•67 days ago

Almost?

armedtransmenace.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's the same justice system operating as it was intended.

annarompage.bsky.social•67 days ago

In America, we have the JustAss system, and not in a fun sexy way…

cutbush.bsky.social•67 days ago

This terrorism charge is laughable. Shooting one CEO is terrorism,but shooting up schools is just a weekly occurrence? The ultra wealthy are the fucking terrorists. They have been terrorizing workers and the vulnerable for too long.

wizzito.bsky.social•66 days ago

The Oxford High School shooter was charged with terrorism

chiefkyiv.bsky.social•67 days ago

This depends on the jurisdiction, in NY mass shooters have been charged with hate crimes and "terrorism." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Buffalo_shooting
