Previously the reporting on this did not have a political angle and so it was removed from Politics and correctly directed to News.
The charges related to terrorism now give this a political angle.
“Luigi Mangione is accused of first-degree murder, in furtherance of terrorism; second-degree murder, one count of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; criminal possession of a weapon and other crimes.”
The terrorism statutes can be found here:

“The act must be committed with the intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.”
Without a doubt, “;)” is the most passive aggressive emoticon in the history of the written language.
What’s the most directly aggressive one?
🖕
That’s an emoji, not an emoticon.
😂 ← this one. This is the most aggressive. I’m not even joking. I hate this emoji with a vengeance
I find this edit even more upsetting. Right wingers love to post the dumbest shit with this emoji as if being arrogantly stupid somehow makes you less wrong.
It’s great when boomers use it thinking it’s just a crying emoji, though. “Aunt Cathy has passed away. 😂”
