- u2328 13y agoReally, terrorism? How has he inflict any physical damage on anyone? Agree or disagree with his actions, it's clearly not terrorism. I look down in disgust on anybody that frames his actions in that light.
- tlrobinson 13y agoI doubt the OP was calling him a terrorist, just saying (perhaps jokingly) that it's possible that's how the government will try to portray him. Did you see the article titled "How three pacifists were convicted as terrorists" currently on the front page of HN? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5848148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5848148
- u2328 13y agoMy statement stands. If he/she was being tongue-in-cheek, then it doesn't apply. If it's the powers-that-be that do it, well, there you are.
- dale386 13y agoYes, that's exactly what I was going for.
- u2328 13y agoWell, my apologies if I insulted you personally. It was meant to be an attack on the notation that this can be framed as 'terrorism'.
- riggins 13y agoReally, terrorism? exactly. people are making unsupportable claims.
- thwest 13y agoDon't take this as a pithy, light comment. There are lawyers that are currently in jail for serving as council to some middle eastern organizations that were trying to become legitimate and work within the system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynne_Stewart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynne_Stewart
