He described his own actions as "terrorism", and the state is throwing that back in his face by basically going "See, even he called it 'terrorism'! That means he knew what he was doing was wrong!"
- whoopdedo 7y agoEarlier in that essay he talked about a "coup". So I suppose he should be charged with insurrection as well.
- amyjess 7y agoWell, that's the thing. He's not being charged with terrorism. They're just throwing his self-description back in his face as a rhetorical device, to persuade a judge or jury that he knew what he was doing was wrong. It's really petty and juvenile for them to do this, but they aren't making an actual allegation of terrorism.
