    Far as I know, there’s no law against stochastic terrorism. Hard as it would be to write and enforce, fuck me, this is the real deal.

    Hang tight. I’m feeling pretty good he’s going behind bars. There’s just too much against him, and the offense is as prepared as it has ever been in American history.

      If he was being tried in any other district than the one he is in Florida, it would be beyond easy and the trial would be a formality.

      But Cannon absolutely can just let him off the hook. That’s pretty much his only option left, and if that happens, then there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

        There’s also the DC case and the Georgia case. He’s highly unlikely to wriggle out of all three. By this time next year, the Republicans could have a convicted felon as their nominee.

      Obama did an extrajudicial killing by drone of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen who was (allegedly) an Islamist stochastic terrorist. Obama also murdered his 16 year old son as collateral damage in the assassination of al-Awlaki by drone. Seems to me there’s laws on the books banning stochastic terrorism if you’re a Muslim. Also if you’re black, see the MOVE bombing and Fred Hampton.

      Stochastic terrorism is only legal if you’re a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi.

        Well, extrajudicial would imply not legal. What you’re really pointing to is that when white supremacists are involved, somehow the government suddenly cares about due process and civil rights.
