We learned in the clearest possible terms that helping one's community and improving the lives of millions is equal to terrorism in this country. America, 2024.

I'm thinking that the absurdity of the terrorism charge boosts the probability of an acquittal.

Oh, please. You know they're going to hand-pick a judge and jury guaranteed to burn him at the stake.

The terrorism charge was so prosecutors could nail him with 1st degree murder. Otherwise the charge wouldn't apply and they would have gone for 2nd degree murder.

Under state law, murder in the first degree only applies to a narrow list of aggravating circumstances, including when the victim is a judge, a police officer or a first responder, or when the killing involves a murder-for-hire or an intent to commit terrorism.

Look, the man is a hero, but let's not post bullshit.

I don't even understand who he's incited terror on apart from CEOs. But they all got afraid in the GFC and no one got charged with terrorism in Wall St. No one got charged with anything and they intentionally, therefore treasonously, destroyed their nation's economy and the lives of millions on such a scale it spread over the world.

He can only be charged with First Degree Murder in the state of New York if he is a terrorist or a small number of other circumstances.

It might be a play by the prosecutor to start with big charges and negotiate with the defence, Judge, and Jury to bring them down while still convicting.

Terrorism is defined as the use of violence against non-combatants for political reasons. Of course it's socially constructed. Doesn't mean he doesn't fit the definition.
