Frank Figliuzzi: ‘We Don’t Have a Law Against Domestic Terrorism in the U.S.’
EXCERPT:
FIGLIUZZI: "So here’s the bottom line. There’s no deficiency in domestic terrorism laws, because there are no — there are no domestic terrorism laws. And I’m going to be on this soapbox for quite some time, and I've been on it for a while. We don’t have a law against domestic terrorism in the United States. That’s why you’re seeing some of these people arrested for things like trespass, assault, theft of a laptop or theft of a podium. None of those charges reflect the gravity of what happened on January 6. That was terrorism. That was an insurrection. We have a nice, neat set of laws for international terrorism. If you change the religion of the people on January 6 going into that building to Islam, and you make their mission violent jihad, all of a sudden we have an international terrorism law that would charge them and sentence them to 20 years to life. That needs to change and it needs to change quickly."
