I hate the US judicial system. Nothing against you personally. If I'm reading this right, you're saying they need have a conversation that might hopefully lead to action of passing laws that specifically deal with domestic terrorism?

That too, I was saying eventually judges, juries, and courts at various levels, are going to start hearing a defense that is these people are mentally ill from racism/8chan weird shyt/anti social/sociopathic behavior.

I've really gone in depth reading about Muslim terrorists and their self radicalization, which is often used as a defense (validly so, in my view) and as a mitigating factor in sentencing.

I think the nut in Staten Island who accidentally killed a mob boss is trying that defense. A trial lawyer I'm friends with says defenses like that are almost impossible really anything involving mental illness/deficiency I'm not sure if its due to what the state/feds require or juries don't care.

El Paso Sheriff Richard Wiles said he fears "things will not get better" after a deadly shooting left 20 people dead in the Texas city: “This Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics. I'm outraged and you should be too. This entire nation should be outraged."

The places change, the numbers change, but the choice of weapon remains the same. In the United States, people who want to kill a lot of other people most often do it with guns.
