Better not charge him with terrorism. I mean, unless Jeff Bazos was on the train.
- Generally, the question should be: Was he trying to instill terror in a group of people to manipulate their behaviour? If the answer is "yes", then it was indeed terrorism and the charges should reflect that; otherwise not.
  
  That's what the question should be, yes. But now it's only used if corporate America is the target. Actual acts of terrorism against us degens is just another Tuesday.
  
  The problem with that is, you’d have to ask him if he wanted to strike terror into a group of people. Otherwise you’d be charging him with a crime he didn’t commit. Just because you feel terrorized, doesn’t make it a terrorist act.
  For instance, just because you kill a single CEO, certainly doesn’t mean you’re a terrorist. Other people can feel scared for their own lives as punishment for their killings in the name of greed, but that’s really just on them.

They just followed his footprints. What a genius.
- should have walked backwards 😆

- I went to college in Nampa 😅
  
  Isn’t that in Florida?
- Idaho can’t possibly be a real state. Who would live in such a shitty sounding place?
