Also in case you weren't following the final page, the little dude premeditated what was going to happen and recorded himself talking about committing the act. Between that and the Instagram post, the third clause was met. That the first two were blatantly covered by the act itself should be apparent.

If that weren't enough, the DA has sooo much more information that would have had to been approved by a grand jury or a judicial officer in a preliminary hearing to even bring those charges in the first place.
I didn't say it did, I said that is the usual motivation. Premeditation isn't terrorism, it is why we have 1st degree murder charges. So again, what ideal was he trying to coerce people onto accept by using violence? Stop bring opposite just to be opposite.
