Andrew Cuomo: Domestic terrorists should face up to life without parole

Andrew M. Cuomo is the governor of New York. The views expressed in this commentary belong to the author. View more opinion articles at CNN

Two weeks ago, a gunman killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, in what he later told authorities was a targeted attack against Mexicans, according to the arrest affidavit. This tragedy is the latest incident of hate-fueled violence; it's clear our country is plagued by the toxic cocktail of guns and hate. And while the federal government refuses to address this violence, New York is stepping up with a proposal to call these hateful acts exactly what they are -- domestic terrorism.

Andrew CuomoHate is nothing new in America. Our country bears the scars of the KKK, the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, and the Porvenir Massacre in 1918, which led to the execution of 15 Mexicans -- just to name a few. Many of us thought these incidents were long in the past, but this hate remains a part of our reality today. Hate crimes have been on the rise.

Life without parole ? Way to take a stance

Tell Antigua

It's called murder and generally the sentence andrewcuomo

Cool, include political ideology or affiliation and I'm on board

Do most mass killers get parole?

I’ll remember these words.

sarah_queeny What should the charge be for threatening to throw someone down the stairs? Oh wait we already have a law for that.

That's incorrect. It should be death.

You can obviously add 'Destroying What Once Was The Greatest State in The United States.' He wins. CuomoForPrison

Antigua first please

Who cares what Fredo has to say. 😂

I’m pretty sure it already is.

What about attacks against white, straight males? Oh, never mind. Open season. Not 'special.'
