How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

[–] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because it's making the CEOs and politicians Terrified.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Our most sacred 21st century nobility. Guess we’ll have to cut their taxes to show our deference

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

They used to be terrified a lot more often when history was closer to JFK, Mussolini, Lincoln, and the French Revolution. When the leaders really thought the punishment for bad leadership was their ass, they gave a shit more.

Because the ruling class is terrified

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 104 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because they don't like him.

I mean Dylan fucking Roof shot dead 9 black people and they didn't consider it terrorism.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dylan Roof did get charged with hate crimes and was convicted on all 33 counts, leading to a death sentence. Stacking terrorism charges on top of that would have been pointless.

Mangione, by contrast, is getting charged in a state without capital punishment. You need the terror charge to make this a First Degree Murder case. Otherwise he's looking at parole after 15 years.

[–] sean@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

This sounds like a legal playbook for would-be assassins. Kill at the cost of 15 years with parole max

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I mean, we'll see if he even makes it to trial or if he has an accidental-in-his-cell whoopsie doodle suicide.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

"They're making us CEO's afraid, terrified even, so he's clearly a terrorist. The implication that the working class could actually fight back against the systemic oppression we inflict on them? That's horrifying. We can't allow them to believe they could ever fight back. Make an example of this person."

The rich assholes or something

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago

Crimes against the ruling class are more harshly punished than crimes against the plebs.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 2 days ago

As long as the action terrorised a large enough group of people it's terrorism, it's just this time, the terrorised people are the rich cunts hiding in their mansions like the traitorous cowards they are.
