And, despite what you say down-thread, the FBI also considers abortion clinic violence to be acts of domestic terrorism. For example, scan this list from the FBI:
http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005 http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-200...
From the same document:
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as
“the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or
property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political
or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).
So, by that standard, firebombing feed trucks would be terrorism. Secret filming would not.
- pyre 14y ago| the FBI also considers abortion clinic | violence to be acts of domestic terrorism I was referring to the feeling I get from (generic) law enforcement in the US that "1 animal rights 'terrorism incident' == all animal rights people are terrorists," but "1 abortion clinic bombed == just an isolated incident." I think it stems from the idea that AR activists are "a bunch of dirty hippies" or anarchists, whereas anti-abortion protesters are just fine, upstanding Christians. Of course, none of this will be in official documents, much in the same way that DWB[1] is not an actual offence, or official department policy. [1] Driving While Black
