Great piece, Jenna. Is there any Congressional interest in adding/amending statute to include this type of thing?https://twitter.com/JennaMC_Laugh/status/624962807935709184 …
@PogoWasRight The answer is in shifting priorities and laws, away from the terrorism portfolio, IMO.

@emptywheel "Terrorism" was overused post-9/11. It's a shame bc I think some of these acts - including those involving guns - are terrorism. -
@PogoWasRight Yes. But does that mean they should be punished differently?Should domestic terror targets enable dragnet like intl do? -
@emptywheel Yes, I actually think they should be punished differently, if by differently, you mean higher minimum sentences. -
@emptywheel When violence/plot makes a segment of the populace fearful to enjoy their freedoms, isn't it domestic terrorism?
