Terrorism? As in he spread fear among the population to further his political agenda? This is like the opposite of terrorism. More like joyism.

This is an inevitable consequence of the 9/11 overreaction

Yep. Where I live any climate action, or protest of any kind that blocks roads or “disrupts economic activity” can be charged as terror now lol.

We never even had a terror attack here during the GWOT era. Closest we got was an American style mass shooting in the 90s. But we basically got the patriot act without having a 9/11 thumb-cop

The extent to which the gwot was a global exercise in crushing dissent and liquidating political opposition is I think not adequately discussed. The whole gwot era was used to massively ramp up state surveilance and political repression in nations around the world. Regimes used it as carte blanch to imprison or kill political enemies with DC's blessing.

It's funny how they never charge a school shooter or any mass shooter with terrorism no matter how high the body count.

Or the countless manifestos they publish

They didn't terrorize the right people tho, they targeted the poors, now a rich has been targeted, gun violence is a terrorist attack, untill the next mass shooting, then it's freedom to bear arms.

Jury nullification would be so good here

There has to be one. On a panel of 12, there has to be one

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

in a surprise twist, the panel is going to consist of peers to the victim this time around. porky-happy

He's been charged with three murders, possibly because he was using a magical gun that can fire in to parralelle worlds.
