Nobody has good intent with all those pipe bombs. I don't care what BS his lawyer spews to paint the defense. This is a domestic terrorist in the making. Luckily they caught him before he started using all those pipe bombs.
Just the beginning part of a long article.... Responding to Domestic Terrorism: A Crisis of Legitimacy January 6, 2021, thousands of rioters breached the U.S. Capitol.1 With the express purpose of preventing the lawful Electoral College vote count, they broke through barriers, windows, and law enforcement lines,2 threatening violence against various politicians.3 They assaulted over 140 police officers and caused an estimated $2.73 million in property damage.4 Since then, the President,5 the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),6 Democratic and Republican congresspersons,7 high-ranking Department of Justice (DOJ) officials,8 and numerous commentators have characterized the breach as domestic terrorism.9 Yet, as many have pointed out, none of the insurrectionists have been charged with domestic terrorism.10 This absence is not limited to the January 6 insurrection. Though the person responsible for the murder of eleven people at a Pittsburgh synagogue shouted “All Jews must die,”11 his indictment included no terrorism charge.12 The same is true for the man who murdered nine Black churchgoers at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, seeking to increase racial tensions.13 So too for those responsible for the murder of Heather Heyer and for other violence committed at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, “despite then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions having initially described the . . . attack as meeting ‘the definition of domestic terrorism.’”14 This raises the question: why no terrorism charges? The answer is straightforward: there is no federal charge of domestic terrorism.15 “Domestic terrorism” itself evades easy definition. Terrorism is politically or ideologically motivated violence.16 But domestic terrorism is defined by its distinction from international terrorism. Its application focuses on whether the ideology or conduct at issue is international or domestic in nature. Though the USA PATRIOT Act17 defines domestic terrorism, it attaches no sanctions to such conduct.18 Some argue that the laws governing international terrorism sufficiently cover domestic terrorist conduct.19 Others argue that significant reform and expanded authority are necessary in order to respond adequately to this growing threat.20 https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-136/responding-to-domestic-terrorism-a-crisis-of-legitimacy/
