He never had to kill anyone. He chose to murder someone.

"While the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has maintained that these actions are not terrorism, this article suggests that there is a correspondence between incidents perpetrated between 1982 and 1987 and standards classifications of "limited political" or "subrevolutionary" terrorism. Perhaps the FBI has declined to accept the terrorism definition because of its preoccupation with international events which are seen in terms of administrative or jurisdictional definitions."

That's from 1988.

From 1977 to 1988, an epidemic of antiabortion violence took place in the United States, involving 110 cases of arson, firebombing, or bombing. The epidemic peaked in 1984, when there were 29 attacks. Nearly all sites (98%) were clinics that provided abortions. The FBI still says that those were not acts of terrorism.

Jill Stein opposed the genocide in Gaza which was supported by the Democrats and Republicans. As a result, she had support in many Arab-American communities. There were a lot of news stories about this, particularly towards the end of the election.

I just saw that! At the time I was making my comment I thought, “or they add federal charges,” but I didn’t think it was going to happen. Shows how useless it is to outlaw the death penalty on the state level when the federal government can selectively apply the death penalty in state level cases.

Death penalty is aways available for those who attack capital in a capitalist state. Laws are just words when they are against true power

Nope, they were adamantly campaigning here the whole time.
