French prosecutor appears to have argued bc co-pilot is German willfully taking down plane is not a terrorist attack?
@davidabenner A crash, on purpose, is mass murder. From there states decide how much of a threat to them they think the motive is.

@emptywheel yes, it's mass murder. "terrorism" isn a rigorous concept, but it isn't totally subj, so prosecutor right for wrong reasons? -
@davidabenner No one has evidence yet whether this will be what some states call terrorism or not. But it does't derive fr ethnicity. -
@emptywheel agreed, but I don't object to preliminary ruling it out, for the very reason to temper reactions.
