I'm struggling to find a way to attach a PDF here, but here is a link to the Manhattan DA's Office.

I've looked at the charges that were filed. That is not one of them.

Thank you. always willing to accept that I was wrong when presented with evidence.
I still think it's stupid, but I guess that's the world we live in.
I agree with you 100% on it being a stupid charge. I'd be surprised to see it stick.
Basically it means that anyone who commits a crime could be trying to "send a message" and that could be applied to absolutely anything. Steal a loaf of bread because you are hungry and it's terrorism because you are sending out a message about all the people who are hungry around the world. I mean come on. a crime like this is bad enough, there is no need to create an environment that floods the world with hyped up subjectivity.
