Stop treating domestic terrorists with kid gloves and maybe they’ll be afraid to terrorize again.

Wel it’s not really as straight forward as all that. A lot of leftists are abolitionists. The concept of a state jailing someone isn’t something to be advocated for when every other day you don’t believe the system should exist. Your ideals being flexible based on who gets hurt means they aren’t ideals at all.
MAGAts are terrorists.
I agree but let’s not forget that less than a year ago nearly 100 letters containing white powder sent to Trump and senior Republicans
Yeah that’s very not cool
Agree. Not sure this really holds a candle to the systematic violence and terrorism emanating from the traitors’ camp.
misleading headline. The judge was sent a tainted envelope, he did not send the envelope.
I wouldn’t have interpreted as the judge being the sender.
That’s how I interpreted it. There are many ways to write that which completely avoid confusion, but they chose the only way that allows that confusion.
I mean, the core of the sentence—if it were normal English and not newspaper headline English—is “judge sent envelope.” Their copy editor can and should do better.
I interpreted your interpretation differently

As I’ve said for years, English is a shit language.
Bob sent a birthday card
Means Bob mailed it to someone
Bob was sent a birthday card
Means Bob received it.
We still keep headlines short, so the “was” gets dropped, and we’re left with an ambiguous sentence that literally means the opposite of what context clues tell us it means.
It makes sense when you realize headlines start out as full sentences but then get trimmed down as short as possible.
Yeah, it’s all shit our brains account for like 99% of the time so we don’t even realize it.
If you don’t learn it when your little, it’s always going to be weird.
But if people stop to think about it, most can’t explain why it still makes sense.
@davel is right though.
Envelope With White Powder Sent To Judge In Trump Civil Fraud Case, Source Says
Exact same length and unambiguous.
Probably Don Jr. trying to make some layaway payments with cocaine
Ironically enough, he got sent an envelope with white powder too.
That was his 1st attempt.
He was high on cocaine and inverted the addressee/return address.
I’m not sure that’s what “ironic” means. Perhaps you mean “coincidentally.”
