    It’s not like Roof got off scot-free. He is awaiting the death penalty and was sentenced to 9 life sentences on top of that.

      Sure, but call it what it is. Don’t save “terrorist” for people who target the owner class instead of people who want to start race wars with their multiple murders.

        I think this Luigi dude shouldn’t have been charged with terrorism under New York law, but I can also recognize that Dylann Roof also shouldn’t have been charged with terrorism under New York law for killing people in South Carolina.

        Roof was literally sentenced to the death penalty for federal hate crime killings, so I’m not sure there was more the prosecutors should have done. And I’m categorically against the death penalty, even for people like Roof, but this is a terrible example of a double standard.
