        This was an act of Domestic Terrorism, as defined in the Patriot Act, Title Vlll, Section 802. Also, he committed 1st-degree murder, not 1/2

        Fasces - a bundle of sticks tied together (often around the handle of an axe). Core symbol of Mussolini's fascists.

        2nd-degree because his actions were intentional. Even if he didn't intend to cause death, death caused by a violent crime is 1st-Degree. 2/2

        But doesn't the fact that it is a hate crime ramp it up?

        To call it a hate crime, based on his victims not being white supremacists or sympathisers of, wouldn't be too vague a definition.

        ahem, sorry, WOULD be too vague! The Patriot Act's defines Domestic Terrorism as activities that "involve acts dangerous to human life
