No terrorism charge? That's crazy. /s
It's not a prerequisite for the first degree murder charges in Florida like it is in New York State, but I still think his actions qualify based on the state laws. Maybe we'll hear more about what all he is or is not charged with when his court dates are announced, as was the case with Mangione.
These school shootings often lack (but not always) the needed intent in B.
I don't think it's hard to make a case for that in the CEO shooting.
That's fair but the text being OR and not AND means it is vague enough that you could apply it to punching two people as it is "a violent act" which "is intended to" "injure".
That's not how I read it personally.
You need to
Intimidate, injure, or coerce a civilian population;
AND
Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
OR
Affect the conduct of government through destruction of property, assassination, murder, kidnapping, or aircraft piracy.
Notice how the influence part has a very explicit or on the end of it, but the intimidate doesn't
If all you had to do was injure someone, and not be trying to influence or alter the conduct of the government through the action, it turns nearly everything violent thing into terrorism.
When you type a list
thing 1, thing 2, or thing 3
It doesn't imply thing 1 AND 2 or 3.
Why does 2 have that explicit OR then?
Because this is a list
That doesn't make sense.
If it could be 1 OR 2 OR 3 they would have put the OR beside 1 as well.
Do you write lists like "jeff, paul, stacey, or craig" or do you write them as "jeff, or paul, or stacey, or craig"? It makes perfect sense to me, but if you think words that aren't included in a law are "implied" then good luck pal.
In order to be charged with murder in the 1st degree you must
So yes, you can absolutely write lists like that.
Edit: Other obvious examples are instructions to do nearly anything. It's a list of items, you don't just choose individual items.
It’s not like he shot a CEO or something…
Or spray painted a cybertruck...
Or wasn't white.
Just another day in America
It’s not like he vandalized a car or something…
Turning Point USA a designated terrorist group? Yes please.
The terrorism charge only takes place when the victims exceed a certain income level.
It's a white thing.
