Or if he ends up getting 22 death sentences and it turns out he has Wolverine powers, we might need to give him a few extra zaps.
That may be relevant in some cases but he is on video walking in and shooting dozens of people with hundreds of witnesses. I don't think that is necessary to convict.Happy as hell wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 11:19 pmTreating a crime or potential crime as domestic terrorism brings it under the purview of the PATRIOT Act which allows for a host of surveillance, investigatory and enforcement procedures that would otherwise not be available.
The crazy thing is this guy shot and killed his own sister and they still feel compelled to investigate whether it was racially motivated. I guess he could have been racist against his own race????

“We are not seeing any indication of race being the motive,” Biehl said. “But we are not through all the evidence. And so until we are through all the evidence we cannot rule that out. But I’m saying we are not seeing anything at this time to suggest race as a motive.”

Reportedly, the sister was dating a black man. The venue was mostly black.

[/quote]The Dayton shooter had an extreme left Twitter feed
From CNN’s Paul Murphy and Konstantin Toropin
A Twitter account that appears to belong to Dayton shooter Connor Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts as well as tweets supporting the violent protest group Antifa.
The most recent tweet on the @iamthespookster account was on Aug. 3, the day of the shooting, when he retweeted a post saying, “Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die.” He also retweeted support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Under the Twitter handle @iamthespookster, the user description says, “He/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / I’m going to hell and I’m not coming back.” One tweet used the hashtag #HailSatan.
In the hours before the Dayton shooting, the account “liked” several tweets about the El Paso shooting, including one supporting gun control and others that called the El Paso shooting suspect a “terrorist,” and a “white supremacist.”
The account also retweeted posts against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, including one that said, “These people are monsters,” as well as multiple posts condemning police, and supporting Antifa. There were also many tweets of selfies, photos with a friend and ordinary memes and non-political content.
The account is no longer active, but Twitter would not confirm to CNN whether it had removed the account, only saying in a statement, “We're proactively removing content that violates our policies and will be engaged with law enforcement, as appropriate.”
