Let me ask…..if the FBI arrested a guy named Ali with lots of weapons and a manifesto to kill politicians and media personalities would and should he be charged with terrorism?
If your answer is yes then I say rightly so…….
Then why was this d/bag not a terorist?
A federal magistrate has agreed to the pre-trial release of a Coast Guard lieutenant accused of being a domestic terrorist, the AP reports. US Magistrate Judge Paul Day noted on Thursday that 50-year-old Christopher Hasson hasn’t been charged with any terrorism related offenses. Hasson was arrested Feb. 15 and is awaiting trial on firearms and drug charges. Prosecutors say he created a hit list of prominent Democrats, two Supreme Court justices, network TV journalists, and social media company executives. Day says he still has “grave concerns” about Hasson based on information prosecutors have presented. The magistrate says Hasson is “going to have to have a whole lot of supervision.” Day planned to order home confinement and electronic monitoring for Hasson. It’s not clear where Hasson will be confined or when he’ll be released. (Hasson reportedly once wrote that he was “dreaming of a way to kill every last person on earth.”)
Why is this person not sent to Gitmo and held with the rest of the terrorists that wanted to do harm to this country?
Once again a domestic terrorist gets the “benefit of the doubt”……somehting not many others get to claim……
Does that mean a white dude that wants to kill our political leaders and media personalities is not a terrorist….but a guy named Ali with the same intentions is a terrorists.
Can we call this situation an example of “white privilege”?
You mean to say allI have to do, as a ‘white’ terrorist, to get a house arrest is to pile up some automatic weapons in my car?! I’ll take it. I’ll do a GoFMe, to purchase auto weapons so I can take a bath, see Puppy, sleep a few hours on a dirty mattress…easy peezy!
Sarcasm? I love it. I think this is just another Trump DOJ bullshit policy. chuq
I can’t believe this guy is being released awaiting trial. Why take any chances?🤷🏻♀️
If he was an Ali he would be under the jail and then to Gitmo. chuq
I know! According to the news despite the prosecution calling him a domestic terrorist, they haven’t actually brought any terrorism charges against him, at least not yet. Supposedly this is the reason for Day’s decision. I honestly just don’t understand any of this.🙇🏻♀️
1st amendment thing maybe? Strange….chuq
I fully agree, Chuq! But a nice collection of toys, indeed. 😉 Best wishes for the weekend. Michael
How does someone afford all those weapons? Just wondering….chuq
Why not, Chuq! Always good to have some more as one in need. Lol OK, sorry. But really you dont know what happens next, and not everyone has official bodyguards, like our politicans. Best wishes for the weekend! Michael
I hope you have a good weekend….chuq
:-)) You too, Chuq!
I think it depends on the motivation. Wanting to kill of do damage to advance a political goal makes a terrorist. If the motive is because the person hates everyone and everything then that makes a criminal, or mentally ill person
I understand that but if this guy had been named Ali it would be a whole different conversation….chuq
Indeed, if this would-be terrorist was named “Ali” there’s no way in hell he’d be released from jail.
Reblogged this on The Secular Jurist.
THanx I appreciate the re-blog….chuq
It never changes, does it? One rule for one, and ‘out on bail’ for another. Is it any wonder it keeps happening?
Best wishes, Pete.
If this guy was a Muslim he would chastised and under the jail……and a free trip to Gitmo…..chuq
