Oh he will. He knew what he was getting into. The terrorism charge is a bit much, but clearly for show. I don’t think anyone expected him not to be charged.
The terrorism charge is because it's a requirement for First Degree Murder charges in the State of New York. It wouldn't be there if the crime was in different state.
I read somewhere that writing a manifesto factors in as well.
I've seen the manifesto, in it he apologizes to the police but thought it had to be done.
He neither expressed desire for political outcome nor claimed politics as his motivation.
It was about how predatory and evil the healthcare industry is.
Also the shortest manifesto ever.
But he didn't outline any changes he wanted to happen other than killing a couple of people for being greedy. For all we know he's a pure privatization advocate and thinks it's the citizens responsibility to police it themselves.
