Re: The T-word

True. Of course, even though Holocaust Museum Guy has only two charges, each carry the death penalty, so I suspect he is the most heavily charged of the three. Murdering a police officer on federal property is a really bad lifestyle decision.

I've changed my tune a bit in the past week, and now I'm thinking that the double standard is not so much about the specific charges but in the societal reaction that angry-white-guy terrorism is part of the price that we pay for living in a free society. I started writing that in this comment, but then decided to pull it out to its own post.
