    For the longest time, people thought “terrorism” meant “very evil,” so now that someone who isn’t evil is being labeled a terrorist, they are upset.

    In reality, if you try to change politics with violence against a civilian, you are a terrorist.

    “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

      That’s not what the law in NY actually says. It’s not merely that you’re trying to change government policy through violence. It’s that you’re trying to do it through intimidating government employees. The prosecutor screwed the pooch on this one. Luigi didn’t actually meet the terrorism modifier requirements in NY. At least that’s what I got from Legal Eagle.

          That’s an incredibly flimsy argument. People have been writing messages on ammo since ammo existed. There’s not even an established pattern of terrorists writing on ammo - they’re more likely to claim credit for an attack after the fact and include their message there.

          Those were words for him. Deny and defend this, mother fucker.

            You assert my argument is flimsy, yet your argument is that someone is going to be able to read the casings popping out of a guy’s gun shooting at him from behind?

            Lol. Lmao, even.

              Please tell me you’re trolling so I don’t think I’m talking to someone THIS obtuse.

              Do you think this writing was to make a political message in the wreckage? Do you think really I think the soldiers who wrote it expected the victims to read it on the way down?

              No, you moron, it’s a message to the victim that the killer knows they’ll never read. It’s a personal touch on the ammo that empowers the shooter. A more poetic version of “a bullet with your name on it”

              Added bonus for you

                  Yeah because my Lemmy app posting twice is indicative of my intelligence.

                  I love that you have nothing to say about my comment so you point out the app bug. Very smart
