That covers any riot, and a large proportion of protests. If someone throws paint at an artwork, is that terrorism too?
Terrorism is so overused it has lost pretty much any meaning. Being called a terrorist just means you’ve annoyed someone in authority.
- themitigating 4y agoHow does throwing paint at a painting terrorize the population? I'm sure some people cared but I don't think it strikes fear when people hear about it.
- LarryMullins 4y agoIt probably should cover riots. Unless of course the riot is in support of [good thing]. Implicit to any definition of terrorism is the qualification that it doesn't count if it's done to support [thing you support]. Naturally. As they say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
