who conspired to commit violence and escalate an already violent event and who were members of what is essentially a terrorist group were just defending themselves? I like the principle you are espousing here. The people who commit violence, trying to inject/normalize violence and intimidation into the US political system, should be treated as a terrorist group. They were the aggressors. They have a history of being aggressors. They openly admit to being violent and aggressive. People who fit the description given by the above three sentences should be treated as a terrorist group. (1 - Aggressors. 2 - History of aggression. 3 - Openly admit to being violent and aggressive.) If you are espousing this principle, I wholeheartedly agree!
