Actually, I re-read it, and there is no such sliver of redeeming technicality.
Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: "(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."
This satisfies that criteria fully.
So you agree that if occupy Wall Street pulled the crap they pulled a number of years ago you would have them picked up by the police as domestic terrorists? If the Salem march happened today, you would have them arrested for domestic terrorism? What the hell is wrong with you people don'y you understand the logical outcome of the pure vitriol hate you spew?
Why the fuck are you talking about OWS? There is nothing even comparable here to that mess.
WTF, do you even know what you are talking about? Do your even read the news or do you just react to sound bites? OWS was not the same it was MUCH WORSE then a dispute over land rights. The left wing LOVED OWS now you don't think peaceful protest is something to be condemned.
Listen, if you want to talk about a [vaguely] peacefully assembled collection of people demonstrating in public spaces, or the shit-show that went along with it, go ahead and start a thread about it. You'll probably see me make an appearance to talk about how much of a shit-show it was.
But here we're talking about an armed militia who have seized a federal facility, seemingly are attempting to claim ownership of federal land, and are threatening to use force to resist prevent government business, all because they hate the United States government. Entirely different shit-show here.
