    I don’t understand how this is the gotcha you think it is. Like, honestly, this sounds like an argument in favor of the guy you’re talking to.

    So umm, yeah…

      Dylann Roof didn’t need terrorism for his charges to stick, he was charged with 33 federal counts and 9 state counts of murder in South Carolina, then given the death sentence.

      If Dylann killed people in New York it would be different charges because it is a different court with different laws.

      Comparing the two really isn’t doing Luigi any favors, btw.

      I don’t think that they’re trying to make a “gotcha” here. That’s literally the facts of what happened. And, just as they stated, they’re going out on a limb and it could backfire.

        Cute post, but it’s not what happened.

        Nothing they said refuted anything or disproved anything about the original post.
