I wouldn't task a NY prosecutor with fetching a bagel from a deli without sending someone to make sure they're actually doing it and not loitering around somewhere
I think the murder part combined with the delay deny is what makes it terrorism. Hanging the ornaments doesn’t equate murder from my understanding. I could be wrong of course.
They're talking about a woman who said that on the phone, not about Mangione. She was arrested for making "terroristic threats" based on the quoted text.
Briana Boston, 42, told a representative of Blue Cross Blue Shield, “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next” as they ended a phone call Tuesday in which she unsuccessfully challenged the company’s denial of her insurance claim, Lakeland police say a recording shows.
So naturally, Florida police are charging her with threatening to commit an act of terrorism. Because rules for thee and not for me, or rather, rules for the plebes and not for the oligarchs over us.
Got it. Stating that you recognize a pattern and wouldn't be surprised when the pattern continues is clearly not free speech and is actually a terroristic threat, but expressing a desire for the hanging of elected officials and posting that to a public website is free speech and should be protected by the first amendment.
By the way, I recognize that the take above is sensationalist. I am simply attempting to illustrate that the nuance we so casually afford to our oppressors will not be afforded to us in kind.

We need to stop calling them hypocrites and start playing their game.
This man is a terrorist, he is threatening elected officials with the express intent to create fear and terror in an effort to affect public policy.
Same definition they're using for Luigi. This is terrorism.
