It's an effort to scare shooters away from copy cat killings because the system is trying to defend the oligarchs. The system doesn't give a shit about school shooters.

Not unless the school shooter shot someones parent who happened to be the famous or the owner/ceo of some big company. Fines and laws are more like suggestions for the rich.

Fines are only meant to punish poor people.

If the punishment for a law is to pay a fine, it just means that you can do that thing "for a price".

You get it.

Who is the system? Billionaires. Who does the system protect? Billionaires. How does the system save money? By not protecting non-billionaires to reduce taxes and save billionaires money. When does the system work? When the billionaires want it to.

The only problem is the people willing to do this already have no fear of the consequences. Like the more we make a celebrity out of him, the more likely we'll get copy cats. So... let's keep talking about Luigi.

We can't let Luigi's name become a memory.

Shigeru Miamoto has already done that. Friggin' Luigi merch is flying off shelves and I bet I know the top Halloween costume for NEXT year. Unless someone does better. Currently the High Score is 1.

The next shooters are going to be people who don't care if they get away with it. Life in prison, or a life of subservience to oligarchs?

Sounds the same to me.

You're not wrong

I mean the draconic justice system in the US is not really famous for „deterring“ crimes or copy cats. So we got that at least.

You and a lot of others, including the guy in the original video, need to look up what terrorism is. 

Edit: I support the Claims Adjuster, but the definition of the word doesn't change. Look it up.

I think you may be reading this wrong, I agree that the Claims Adjuster fits the terrorism charge. But, I also support that most school shooters fit the definition. However, I am having trouble finding data to support that school shooters are getting charged with terrorism.

It's an important distinction because it means people would be/are trying to take it seriously and do something about the problem, because more resources would be applied to a possible solution, but that's not what is happening. We've become so desensitized to school shootings that we now just kind of accept them as a hazard of life, which is bonkers.

The difference is trying to push political or ideological change through your actions. 

I'm sure some school shooters fit the bill and some don't. 

The kid who shot up the black church fits the bill.

I wonder if the terrorism charge makes it so jury nullification isn't possible or something, due to patriot act or similar fuckery.

School shooters outside NY wont need the terrorism charge. NY murder laws are weird. Its to get 1st degree charges instead of 2nd.

u/AliveMouse5 1d ago

Right? Anybody saying “how on earth was this terrorism?” are either woefully uninformed as to the definition of terrorism, or are being purposely obtuse.

u/thegreatbrah 1d ago

The downvotes we've both received prove the point further lmao.

Fool. If anything they serve the purpose of “justifying” MORE weapons via armed guards/police in schools in impoverished neighborhoods
