Dylan Roof wanted to start a race war

Dylan Roof wanted to start a race war

Last week, Dylann Roof was charged with 33 criminal acts, including hate crimes and firearm violations, for his killing spree at a historic African American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Even before the charges were announced, questions were raised about FBI Director James Comey’s reluctance to call the attack an act of domestic terrorism, especially since his office is quick to label acts of violence by Muslims terrorism.

The discrepancy in the way authorities handle mass shootings by different actors reflects distinctions that are baked into the criminal code. At the end of the day, Roof’s alleged crimes didn’t align with any that would qualify as terrorism.

Federal law defines domestic terrorism roughly as violent acts occurring within the United States “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population” or to influence government policy or conduct. But whether or not a violent crime satisfies this definition doesn’t necessarily bear on the criminal charges brought by federal prosecutors. As Attorney General Loretta Lynch noted when announcing the charges against Roof, there is no singular crime of domestic terrorism encompassing acts of politically motivated violence.

So I guess they decided instead of setting the algorithm to show you more of what you like they’re just going to show you more of what you interact with, and now the internet is broken

Google AI overview for the query “how many rocks should I eat”

According to UC Berkeley geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. Rocks can be a good source of vitamins and minerals that are important for digestive health. You can eat pebbles, geodes, or gravel with breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or hide loose rocks in foods like peanut butter or ice cream.

Have you ever thought something stupid and not known it until you said it out loud? I once told my wife there’s a pool on the top of a building very matter-of-factly, and when she said “there’s a pool on the top of that building?” I recoiled in shame and stupidity, only to nod, in too deep
