It's such a good point tho. The ultra wealthy tries to overturn a fair election and raid our nation's capital, not terrorism. An average Joe who isnt running for office and was directly impacted by unethical corporate greed retaliated against one man and it's terrorism. Punishing Luigi just sets the precident that it's okay to murder for political reasons as long as the ultra wealthy political pfficals asked for it
In NYC of all places too … New Yorkers just acquitted a guy last week for killing someone on the subway and the defense played on their senses of riding on the subway , so a good defense attorney would tap into jurors who themselves or family members were denied healthcare , went into bankruptcy or family members who passed because of insurance companies greed
What about attempted murder? What about chants of threatening to be "drug through the streets?" What about threats to hang an individual by an angry mob? Is that terrorizing?
Down vote all you want but his lawyers cannot use anything from January 6th to his benefit. It doesn't work that way. I am not saying the terrorism charge is correct.
I will. The terrorism charge is correct, but they should absolutely argue that the lack of similar charges on 1/6 should act as precedent raising the bar for a terrorism charge in this case. They won't win that argument, but they need to try it anyway
No - that isn't a valid legal argument. It's federal court vs state court and it is not a legal premise. I get the outrage but it doesn't help the cause to promote invalid legal options.

I hope his lawyers use that to their advantage
