So it's crazy the NYPD isn't looking at the Brooklyn train shooting this morning as terrorism right?

I mean, terrorism has a specific definition - at its simplest, it implies a political agenda or other similar motive to coerce or intimidate.

We don’t know what this shooter’s motive was - not all mass shootings are terrorism. It’s possible they have more info they haven’t disclosed that led them to rule it out, or maybe they just don’t have any information and aren’t going straight to that - either way, it doesn’t really change anything in terms of how an investigation happens right now, so not sure why it matters?

Really, when they say “we are not looking at this as an act of terrorism at this time” they are basically saying “we currently don’t have any evidence that links this attack to any known organization or group.

They're still going with "heavyset man wearing green construction vest and gas mask" like bruh he probably took those off already. RIP to any fat guys working asbestos abatement today. Also the cameras at the station were all broken because of course they were.

I saw someone mentioning Epistein suicide conspiracy people are always like "Wait wait you expect me to believe that the security cameras were ALL broken? And the cops are ALL incompetent? And they were ALL forging their duty records?? That the entire law enforcement apparatus was a Potemkin village of corruption and abuse???" like *gestures around at everything and Rikers in particular*

FWIW, the indictment seems to specifically mention that he provided fraudulent documents during the background check when he was being vetted for the Lt. Gov job.

I don't want a Republican governor. I also hope there's still a trifecta after November because I definitely don't want people to be able to working on repealing/limiting the RHA, considering current events.

A non-entity lib isn't as likely to push to revert the RHA as even the "sanest" Republican, though.
