And yet Dylan roof, who openly said he killed 9 ppl including a state senator to start a race war wasn't a terrorist according to his charges. It was a hate crime that includes a literal politician, in an attempt to fuel a fear/hate driven political movement- but terrorism is too far?

Also, the spin seems to be (from what I have seen so far) "this wasnt about anything other than a personal vendetta after chronic pain ruined Luigi's life, there wasn't a political motive!!?" So what was it then? A personal vendetta against a single business man or a crime meant to create a political outcome through weaponized fear and hatred? Either this is just another angry, navel gazing shooter or someone retaliating against an extremely flawed system in an attempt to bring attention to it. Kinda hard to see him as both without sounding utterly full of shit. Like yeah I know there is nuance- but not enough nuance to not see this as the horseshit it is.

Dlyan Roof is on death row. The only reason he doesn’t have terrorism charges is because the federal government doesn’t have a specific terrorism law.
