@emptywheel He ain't brown when he's from the Caucasus.

@MJanovic Yup. I know. But in past there has been an inconsistency. Dzhokhar is sort of the exception that proves the rule! -
@emptywheel I don't think it proves anything beyond that you're begging the question and throwing a non sequitur out there. -
@MJanovic That's fine. I just made an observation, one I've documented over series of ~3 posts. -
@emptywheel I think you're correct about the other point--brown people are generally targeted the most. -
@MJanovic That was my only point: DOJ has chosen not to charge white people w/WMD, even while it almost always does apparent Islamic terror -
@emptywheel And I'm sure we'd agree that makeshift bombs aren't WMDs, it's a major stretch. These were criminals, nothing more. -
@MJanovic Yep. I think that's a mistake, but it demonstrates how problematic terrorism law is right now.
