All this bit about terrorism in Charlottesville is a crock. There were crime committed- ie. homicide, manslaughter etc. depending on the level of premeditation or intent that can be proven and the degree to which the defense may or may not be able to show panic from mob rule.
But terrorism? No. The feverish need to find terrorism here is 100% connected to the lefty goal of trying to minimize the threat from radical muslims by giving them cover: ie. "see the christiann white folks do it too." That dog don't hunt. A terrorism charge requires a prosecutor to prove many elements that will be difficult to prove in this case but are blatantly apparent in wackjob muslim terrorist attacks. I think that the timothy mcveigh case probably included all those elements but that was decades ago and the lefties need more examples to counter the daily massacres by radical islam.
Meanwhile, keep in mind- and y'all would not believe this shiite if you did not know it was true- the government and Barry said that the Fort Hood Massacre was NOT terrorism. It was "an isolated incident of workplace violence." Beyond frigging belief. You had a radicalized muslim officer who had been spouting radical crap at training sessions, who had been exchanging emails with Anwar Al Alawackjob in Yemen who was the second in command of Al Queda, and who yelled Allah Ackbar before wiping out American soldiers. Repeat: This WAS NOT TERRORISM. Try to wrap your head around that.
As I said, this feverish need to find terrorism in Charlottesville- versus a protest gone bad and violent- is 100% driven the lefty need to find non-muslim example of terrorism to show that the wackjobs "are just like us."
I am calling bullshit to the whole thing. The binary thinkers here will say that I am just dismissing what the supremacist rally guy did. Not even close. If he is charged with first degree homicide and the evidence is there, go for it. But the mob wants charges that are politically motivated and it is no coincidence that every cockroach in the country who is considering election in 2018 or 2020 is out there banging this terrorism drum. Meanwhile if a muslim cop in minneapolis summarily executes an unarmed woman, or if three little kids are gunned down by blacks as part of a normal weekend in Chicago, they dont give a shiite. No political mileage there.
