    I guess stochastic terrorism just isn’t a crime? She’s been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn’t enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?

      Because the law recognises a difference between direct and indirect causes.

      If it recognised indirect causes then Lemmy would fucking implode due to the amount of people wishing death to various individuals.

        Wishing death isn’t an indirect cause of anything, though inciting others to do harm could be.

          I suspect enough people wishing death to members of the same group increases the risk to that group, don’t you?

            If they don’t act on it nor incite others to do so, then no. That’s exactly the difference between harassment and stochastic terrorism.

      It’s only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.

      When a Zionist does it, it’s Sparkling Free Speech.
