2. There are no federal terrorism charges. The feds do not have domestic terrorism charges, only international.

The feds are charging him with murder and a type of federal cyberstalking. (And possibly a firearms charge...can't remember on that one)

Even the Boston Bomber, nor Timothy McVeigh were charged with terrorism.

Luigi would not qualify for international terrorism charges. Almost everyone who is charged has foreign connections and most are not US citizens. It's got a pretty high bar.
