Here’s a hint. When a party is attacked, that party should respond… and Trump is a model of that approach. Ocasio-Cortez acts just like Trump in that regard. Maybe I should invoked her.
Terrorism is just like any other crime. Let the locals take care of it. The Federal Government should only be involved if the terrorists are foreign. That’s what the law says and that’s what the law should always be.
Shooting up a shopping center for political purposes is terrorism.
Shooting up a shopping center for other reasons isn’t, but still violates a bunch of laws.
I can’t help but think that federal terrorism legislation would be similar to hate crime legislation. An enhancement to the penalties of existing laws based on the motives of the criminal.
Is there an action that is currently legal, that would be criminal under the proposed legislation?
