Shouldn't this guy receive terrorism charges in addition to plotting a hate crime? [View all]
This defendant (Mack Davis, 22, of Owosso) amassed an arsenal of firearms, rounds of ammunition and bombmaking parts that he intended to use to carry out the mass killing of gay people. This kind of vile and heinous hate-fueled violence, intended to target innocent people based on their sexual orientation, runs contrary to our values as Americans, said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division. Bias-motivated crimes targeting the LGBTQI+ community will not be tolerated. The Justice Department will continue using every tool at our disposal to protect communities from the scourge of hate-fueled violence by prosecuting those who carry out or attempt to carry out such crimes.

Also, cutting the intelligence division of the FBI by the incoming Administration will allow these kinds of threats to go unchecked!
