Let's go over what the attacker did (and note, I'm not even going to touch the anti-semitism component).
They demonstrated premeditation, this appeared to be a second attempt at a prior failed attack.
The intent was to cause serious injury.
Max penalties for these types of things is ~10 years in prison.
Hypothetical : Let's say I had an powerful/advanced sniper rifle where I can target a specific person and cause them to have a seizure. Let's say I use this rifle from across state lines. Should I not be getting a visit from the FBI and ending up in federal prison?
Yes. This is akin to shouting fire in a crowded theatre [1] or phoning in a bomb threat. In the United States, freedom of speech is limited in certain cases where the harm caused by the speech outweighs the damage of limiting freedom.
Please stop using the "fire in a crowded theatre" phrase, it's not actually part of law in the US. [1] The standard for restricting speech in cases like this is if it poses a "clear and present danger". That's likely the case here, as a premeditated attempt to cause a seizure is a clear and present danger to epileptics. There's plenty of law to cite that doesn't depend on over-broad censorious decisions that got overturned later on.
The target could have died. The actions of the attacker were deliberate in trying to induce a seizure that could have killed him. That's attempted murder, and whether it's via a tweet or not is irrelevant.
I imagine if he'd been the victim of a deliberate hit-and-run, you'd be saying something like "so to be clear, you want someone to be imprisoned because they drove a car."
I believe that the OP wants the attacker to be sent to prison for inflicting harm, pre-meditated, and with intent to do so. that he used a tweet to do this is irrelevant, and frankly, your statement is disingenuous and asinine. But I'm sure you already know that, and are simply trolling
I don't think it has made us better humans, it has made us weaker humans in the biological and physical sense.
I don't need a powered toggle to roll down the windows in a car, but technology assumed I did, and it's little things like that, which make us weaker and lesser than our primitive counterparts.
The most primitive self sufficient savage is superior to the technological cube dweller.
>> We parents tell our children that when you know you’ve lost an argument or a race, the right thing to do is to be a good sport and to “get ’em next time.” But if there is no next time, or you know that every next time you are going to be in the loser’s lane again, what’s the use of being a good sport? It would make you look even more ignorant, and more like a loser, to pretend like you think you have a chance. The game has been rigged against you. Why not piss on the field before you storm off? Why not stick up your finger at the whole goddamned game?
This was really fun but the cannon ball needs more reach and you could increase the cool down (add a graphic bar) so it's more about skillful aim shots instead of masses of balls. Which would help performance and make it more challenging!
So with formspree you had to validate every page I believe. Which was impossible for my use case, I wanted to add contact forms at the bottom of each blog post and didn't want to have to remember that every URL needs to be activated. What If I changed the article URL? Have to reactive, etc.
This is not a problem for formpost. The alias is all you need to get your form. If you have a contact form on each blog post you will receive a submitted form regardless of URL.
I'm pretty sure ChickFila established that corporations have just as much right to free speech as we do. This includes and is not limited to choosing what content they would like to share.
Let me be clear: if they want to push a political agenda, then they have (afaik) every right to. But they should not pretend they're some (ahem) Fair and Balanced firehose of everyone's thoughts and ideas.
