And, of course, a bunch of Tokhes Shtup Rabbi's are implicating PDJT for the shooting by someone who didn't support him by demanding POTUS "denounce" White Nationalism.

| Why the Pittsburgh shooter is not being prosecuted for terrorism | |
| 2018-10-29 | |
| [IsraelTimes] Robert Bowers faces 29 charges, including murder and hate crimes, but lacked any connection to a State Department-designated terrorist group. According to the Anti-Defamation League, Robert Bowers carried out what is likely the deadliest attack against the Jewish community in American history when he opened fire inside a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, killing 11 congregants and injuring four coppers. Bowers’ social media accounts were littered with anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories. He also screamed "All Jews must die" when he confronted law enforcement after committing the massacre. His shooting spree at the Tree of Life synagogue was an unprecedented act of political anti-Semitic violence on American soil. But it was not, according to the US government, an act of domestic terrorism.
Yet the reason he will not face domestic terrorism charges are simple ‐ no such charge actually exists. "There is no federal crime labeled domestic terrorism," Department of Justice spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, told The Times of Israel on Sunday. While the US Patriot Act, passed in 2001 by the George W. Bush administration, following the September 11 attacks, includes a working definition of "domestic terrorism," no crime was ever created to match such a designation. The law describes domestic terrorism as an attempt to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, liquidation, or kidnapping." The most common terrorism-related charge in US courts is providing "material support" to one of the State Department-designated foreign terrorism organizations. There were roughly 300 such prosecutions from 2001 to 2011 that resulted in indictments related to jihadist terror or national security charges, according to the Center on Law and Security. While Bowers’ motives seem plainly evidenced through his social media accounts and verbal proclamations at the scene of the massacre, he acted alone and not on behalf of any terror group. | |

| #3 ...multiple counts of 1st degree murder with the death penalty on the table is enough. There. Fixed it for you, lord garth. And may the blandly forgettable Mr. Bowers be astounded to discover himself burning in Hell after his sentenced is executed. |

| #2 I agree with Garth, how could prosecution for terrorism be worse than multiple counts of Homicide? So you've got 11 counts of murder each carrying life imprison and one count of Domestic Terrorism carrying ga penalty of teaching at University of Illinois at Chicago serving next to Bill Ayres... |
