The director of the FBI (James Comey) stated this week he is not planning to prosecute Dylann Roof for domestic terrorism because under his definition "terrorism" must contain a "political" eliminate or motivation.
Dyllan Roof (allegedly)
1: Assassinated a State Senator.
2: Chose the location of the mass murder for the effect of terrorizing the black citizens.
3: Intended to inspire a "race war".
18 U.S.C. § 2332b defines "federal crime of terrorism" we believe this crime meets that definition.
From the 2016 race for President, to states rights to fly the Confederate "Battle Flag", this crime has had a trans-formative political effect (intended or not).
Not prosecuting Dylann Roof as a terrorist sends a clear message to white supremacists they are free to terrorize anyone.
