Lmao at charging this dude with terrorism. Rich people getting special treatment again.
Buffalo shooter didn't get those charges.
this is crazy....seen that on the news earlier. how TF is this terrorism
It's not charged as terrorism, it's murder for the benefit or intent/ of terrorism, which is a politically motivated act of violence, in an attempt to cause chaos, revolution, further a cause. That would all be terrorism.
The same way murder committed for the benefit of a street gang. Or murder as a hate crime.
It's not really a stretch in the highest profile DA's office in the country, which is known for politically sensitive cases. They want to set an example, and get the win on the board.
I think the US Attorney's Office will charge him too with similar charges.

New York Considering Special Hotline Just for CEOs to Report Alleged Threats to Their Safety After Brian Thompson Killing
Social media users slammed Kathy Hochul for floating using taxpayer dollars to fund the potential hotline.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering creating a special hotline just for CEOs to report alleged threats to their safety after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in the middle of Manhattan earlier this month, according to a report.
Ahead of a "proactive" meeting between Hochul and175 corporate representatives, counterterrorism officials and Homeland Security on Tuesday, CNN reported that New York was considering the CEO hotline option.
The meeting was scheduled to ensure "the state resources, specifically the domestic counterterrorism resources, are focused on being supportive, sharing information," Kathy Wylde, CEO of the Partnership for New York City, told Politico.
"This demonstrates that New York has the most prepared and capable counterterrorism resources in the country. There's no safer place to be," Wylde added.
If executives at the many companies headquartered in New York City relocated because of safety concerns, New York City's GDP, which generated $1.286 trillion in 2023, would be threatened.
Officials continue painting threats against companies and executives as "domestic terrorism." Most recently, Briana Boston was initially charged by a Florida court of threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, which can carry a sentence of 15 years in prison, after she told a BlueCross BlueShield employee, "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next" because her health insurance claim was denied.
Social media users were shocked by the news and questioned why the New York governor would consider using taxpayer dollars to fund the hotline for multi-millionaire CEOs and billion-dollar companies.
"I don't seem to remember this kind of a state response and resources going to NYC when the homicide rate spiked around 2022 but I guess that was just regular people," X user @lukewgoldstein shared.
"There have been 322 school shootings this year. This should radicalize you," another X user stated the same day a 15-year-old student opened fire on her classmates, killing three and injuring six.
"Kathy Hochul weighing a special safety hotline for CEOs at the same time she's debating whether to veto a bill to curb workplace deaths and injuries," X user @ravi_mangla pointed out.
"How about an 'exclusive' hotline for if your insurance company won't pay for your meds? If climate-related flooding destroys your home? If your tax dollars are supporting a genocide? If an executive exploits tax loopholes? A government contractor steals taxpayer money?" X user @snmrrw commented.
"Democracy is when rich people get a special hotline for their own personal protection," another X user posted.

UnitedHealth Group has reportedly filed a DMCA claim to stop an artist from selling merchandise that featured CEO shooter Luigi Mangione

It's not. What's been going around him might have been haunting the people who worked for that CEO tho.
