      Not unless they’re a minority or they kill or threaten someone rich and conservative. The rich part there is really important, they won’t care if a poor conservative gets killed. They might care a little if a rich progressive gets killed, but only if they think there might be a chance it would lead to attacks on rich people in general.

      Terrorism Charges are only really required for the First Degree Murder Charge in the State of New York, afaik.

      This guy probably hasn’t killed anybody yet, and he lives in Virginia.
