So its terrorism when someone kills a rich person, but "business" when a rich person kills the average person?

[claudermiller]

Terrorism is bankrupting a family whose child is dying.

[danamal]

It would not have been an act of terrorism if it wasn't a multi-millionaire CEO that was killed. This was never a threat to the masses. I cannot agree with the charge.

[raiva]

The common man did not feel any terror from this

[aron]

Regular person gets killed, “it’s murder”, CEO gets killed. “It’s an act of terrorism.”

[RichtheCritical]

How did this guy catch 3 murder charges on one body??? At least TRY to hide your preferential treatment of the rich.

[fishtuationaqua]

It tells you that justice system is different for rich people. What do you call for people died because Healthcare denies them?

[simplesimon]

Personally, I am definitely more terrified of insurance company CEO's than I ever will be of Luigi.

[Elburion]

"Kneel peasants and fear the ruling class who create laws to make life more difficult for you and fatten their pockets."

[KellyAnnReagan]

The insurance industry and American government should be charged with crimes against the people of the United States.

[wcbranitly]

Where in hell are they going to find impartial jurors for this case

[justinwaterland-gsmd]

Oh scary words. Ghost gun... Sure it wasn't a assault style ghost gun? The premiums i pay every month are an act of terrorism. With a secondary charge of destruction of my finances.

[Michael-oljn]

How the hell do you get 2 counts of murder in the 2nd degree when you kill one person?!? lol

[cletusyeetus]

Bad news: a lot of the population sympathizes with Luigi. Calling him a terrorist is not going to help you.

[christopherrapczynski]

So you're saying ceos are terrified? Nice

[Wisdomwed]

The people are tired of politicians pretending to work when the country is going to crap. DO SOMETHING.

Go walk down the street alone after 8PM downtown and smell the coffee.

[burchified]

Good. Making the charges extraordinary means the prosecutor will have to meet extraordinary levels of proof or lose.

[acskateNiblets]

Im a citizen, and i wouldnt call this terrorism. Just because this affected some big business, doesnt mean he did this to harm the nation. Its premeditated murder not terrorism

[jaynewallace]

And what the health insurance industry does to us isn't terrorism? That's rich!

[Wisdomwed]

"It occurred in one of the most bustling parts of our city, threatened the safety of local residents and tourists alike, commuters and businesspeople just starting out on their day."

Really, dude? That's like saying a guy speeding down the street and crashed into a tree "risked the lives of millions of hard-working people who may have been there at that exact moment in time but like, lol, not really."

This was hardly a guy who was going on a shooting spree, was he? Who writes these speeches and quotes for these people, freshmen from the local grade school?
