A lot of people fearing they might also get "randomly" murdered because somebody shot their CEO makes for a fucking terrible judicial argument as per terror charges. Like I'm sure it'll fly but that's just a precedent for everything being terrorism now, you just gotta find enough scared suburbians 30 miles away to attest that they all feel like they're next because they saw it on the news to prove this was terrorism.

That's been the entire point drumming up fear about Terrorism since the term was coined. Anything done to disturb the status quo will always be labeled as terrorism by those in power

How many degrees of abstraction before you land on a terrorism charge is pretty much the entire criminal justice system at this point, I guess.

Funnily enough, after that CEO got iced a bunch of Libs online kept posting about how the real culprit for rising healthcare costs are providers not insurers.

Okay, so I guess I should go shoot my pediatrist?
