He should be charged with sabotage, inciting hate, civil war, or genocide.

If screaming "fire" in a crowd when there is no fire is a crime, screaming falsely about an attack, which requires their be an attacker, is a MUCH more serious crime.

Now, enter the internet.

You can scream "fire and arsonist" to the entire planet.

I think he should be charged with a treasonesque crime, to which hanging would be a suitable punishment.

However, given the nature of the situation, I think we should go an alternative route. Instead of a harsh penalty that would only cost the rest of us, he should be exiled. He should forever lose citizenship, and be unwelcome in the United States.

He has betrayed our society. Race baiting sociopaths are nothing new. Sadly, most politicians are in that club. However, he sought to sabotage us. To divide us. His primary goal may have been a larger paycheck, but he went about it politically. He was throwing matches at a powder keg. This was a form of terrorism. If he is allowed to remain in this nation, which he shouldn't be, he should pay for it supremely.

I think the best case scenario is tell him to leave and never come back... and that if he does he will finally get justice for what he has done by paying for it with his life.

Take your disease elsewhere.
