Governor Cuomo is proposing a new Law to specifically penalize domestic terrorism a response to recent mass shootings across the country targeting Hispanics, Jews, Gays and other, by home grown radicalized white males. Cuomo said that the bill would penalize those committing mass shootings as hate crimes should face the same penalties of life in prison without parole, as those who committed the 9/11 terrorist acts. The bill could be passed this year if Cuomo calls lawmakers back to Albany by the end of the year, or he could wait for the start of next year’s session in January.
