Comparing a wedding to a terrorist attack on the United States Capitol is absurd.
- Ygg2 6y agoTerrorist? Really? I guess most ineffectual terrorist on the world.
- m8s 6y agoDomestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature. [1] Are we going to play this game though? People stormed the Capitol hunting for members of Congress. They were chanting "Hang Mike Pence". If they weren't white, would you have any trouble calling it terrorism? Would insurrection or sedition be more agreeable? 1. https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism
- Ygg2 6y ago> Are we going to play this game though? Ok. Let's. Are BLM and the riots they caused terrorist acts? By your definition - yes. I would argue no. I think there needs to be more extreme threshold for something to be labeled as a terrorist group.
- malka 6y agomore extreme than storming the capitol and calling to kill people ? as long as no one dies, it is not terrorism for you ?
- Ygg2 6y agoThey should be prosecuted for inciting violence, trespassing on government property. Not terrorism.
- m8s 6y agoWhat is more extreme than attempting to violently overthrow the government?
- Person5478 6y agoI guess we should also label George Washington a terrorist.
- lvturner 6y agoMore ineffectual than the terrorists involved in the Glasgow Airport attack? One who literally set himself on fire, only to get kicked in the testicles by an irate baggage handler? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Airport_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Airport_attack We still call that a terrorist attack, because it was.
- Ygg2 6y agoSo one officer dead and four "terrorist" dead. Damn. If Al-Quaeda had this level of efficacy they wouldn't last a year. Not that Al-Quaida was deserving of the liberties that were sacrifced for it...
- girvo 6y agoThey beat a police officer to death in the process of taking over the Capitol building, to attempt to stop democratic processes because they didn’t like the outcome. Violence (murder!) for political motives. Terrorism.
