    Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.”

    I don’t think the civilian population feels coerced. I think they were pretty ecstatic. Also, the intimidation was probably more directed at private companies than units of government.

    It is kind of nuts how they’re trying so hard to make an example of this guy.

    You can choke out a homeless guy and go about your life. Kill a CEO and you’re not just a murderer, you’re a terrorist!

      CEOs are quaking in their multi-million dollar homes with round-the-clock hired security! They’re terrorized!

        School children across the country are at higher risk than any CEO. And no one in government or law enforcement gives a fuck about them.
