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?"

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.
funny how murikans are Super against gun violence all of a sudden when it happened to a rich white male.. but not so much when its a class full of poor kids
Seems like most Americans are pro Luigi, but the government isn’t
The kids were already born, they don't give a shit about them after that
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. 🎶
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.
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.
Yeah, trying to upcharge this from murder to "terrorism" is going to backfire spectacularly in the prosecutor's face.
Let's hope. But as we all know truth is financially dictated in our "justice" system, so it is a gamble.
I love how they media seems shocked whenever they find Americans who have been radicalized, when one of their counterparts have been radicalized Americans for the last handful of decades.
That's on purpose - by acting shocked they expect viewers to react the same way. It's essentially telling their audience how to feel about the story without outright saying "you should feel like this".
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.
Is it a separate charge?
He can still be convicted for 1st degree.
I thought you could just mutter terrorism under your breath and then say 9/11 and stick them in a cell forever.
Who do we charge with terrorism for people being forced to watch their loved ones die from preventable causes that were denied treatment and cures by insurance companies? Asking for some revolutionaries I might or might not know.
Rumor has it, if you say, "deny, defend, depose" in your phone 3 times, you'll get charged with terrorism too. Hopefully you're an American citizen or else it's off to Guantanamo bay for you.
If you say "Gitmo Bay" three times in the mirror, a dark universe Obama appears and snatches you.
The unconstitutional Patriot Act says they can do that to citizens too, as long as they're suspected of terrorism. That's why everything is "terrorism" these days, because under that accusation they'll strip you of your constitutional rights and do whatever the fuck they want. It's tyranny.
