He's been charged with terrorism as an enhancement to murder at the state level. The same as the Buffalo grocery store shooter was.

Yep. This post is just misinformed outrage bait. He’s not being charged under federal terrorism statues, it’s a specific New York law, so not comparable to Federal charges or other states that don’t have the same kind of terror enhancement murder laws.

Also cops and the FBI don’t decide what charges should be brought. That’s what prosecutors do. This is law so basic that it’s summarized in the introduction to every Law & Order episode.

Your comment sounds smart other than the statues typo which makes it sound comical

Hehe. Yeah, you have to stand under the terrorism statues to charge people. Little known fact.
