Farce!
Having lunch at Tim's today, I saw the "breaking news" of the charges made against the perp. None of them involve "terrorism".
There is no doubt about the perp's guilt, because he was caught in the act.
There is no doubt about premeditation, because his weeks long planning proves it.
There is no doubt about a political objective, because of his own writings.
He belongs in the deepest, darkest, hole the Bureau of Prisons has, for life. The one count of an attempt on the life of the POTUS can bring a life sentence. A "terrorist" charge would apply to an attempt on any number of civilians, of which the room was packed, and would bring life in the jug, or death.
But no. He isn't a Muslim. So, no "terrorist" charge.
The guy who attacked the Synagogue in metro Detroit, some weeks ago, was a Muslim, so was immediately tagged as a "terrorist". Then it came to light several of his family members had been killed by an Israeli air strike, which breaths life into a "temporary insanity" defense. Then, it was claimed, one of the family members killed, was a "Hezbollah commander", restoring the "terrorist" claim.
I had hoped that charge discrimination based on religion was a thing of the past, after Dylann Roof gunned down a bunch of people, because of their race, in accordance with his white supremacist writings, but, apparently not. Only Muslims can be terrorists.
