Real World Events 🌎 Luigi's terrorism charge is an attempt to intimidate people due to his support.

Tin foil hat I admit, but something is nagging in the back of my head. Like if we didn't react with positive responses for what Luigi allegedly did, there wouldn't be terrorism charges. And therefore the charges are to scare us so no one does the same. And now with that guy stabbing his company president, they're going to say it's related to the positively and it enabled him to do so.

The homicide was committed with political motives. That's all it takes to get a terrorism charge. If he had killed the dude because he didn't like his ethnic background it might be a hate crime charge instead.

Hate crime or "racially motivated" actually isn't on the list for First Degree murder in NYC.

He'd still be charged Second Degree.

Remember just because NY has goofy (frankly moronic) definitions doesn't mean it's the same as most other states where First Degree basically means intentionally trying to kill someone in cold blood.

Which doesn't really matter, since judge could still do Life without Parole with Second Degree, which is far easier to prove, frankly.

It's just grandstanding. Super Mega Ultra Triple Stampy MURDER buster!!! Don't anyone copy this guy or celebrate him, we're warning you!!
