Do you think that the unspeakable crime of taking away a human life is different depending on the precise nature of hate that motivated the perpetrator? Do you think the late Timothy Caughman’s life is worth less if he’s killed by merely a psychopath and not a psychopath and a terrorist?
I am baffled by this sense of morality.
I can discuss about whether something is or isn’t terrorism with detachment because it fundamentally doesn’t matter. The perpetrator cannot be a worse person nor more guilty and Mr. Caughman cannot be more senselessly dead.
