Yup. This is For Certain.

Intimidation? I mean they haven't committed any violence. It's a peaceful protest, the only thing that makes it different from hippies sitting in in the redwoods is the guns.

You realize that even brandishing a gun is considered violence, right? There's nothing peaceful about taking over a building by force. The thing that is befuddling you is that there aren't any dead bodies. But that is not the sine qua non of terrorism.

Even if you accept that, the comparison to ISIS is totally silly, actually kind of offensive. ISIS enslaves and beheads people. These guys haven't done anything like that.

The article did not compare these guys to ISIS. What the article said was that if these guys weren't white, they'd be dead by now. Did you read the object of your commentary?

That's aside from the point I was making though, which is that if the guys were Muslims or Black they would be killed. Now I can't speak for being Muslim, but Black protesters have done pretty similar armed demonstrations and not being massacred, as was implied in the first post. So I just think it's factually wrong to say that.

Wait, when have armed black protesters taken over a federal building and issued a call to insurrection?

That sounds like a load of horseshit to me.  Back that up or retract it, forthwith.

Nothing as specific as that. What did I say, they've done armed demonstrations. In fact the Black Panther party marched similarly armed on the california state capital and weren't gunned down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Pant...Statehouse That's one of dozens of times the black panthers have marched or protested armed. It happened recently in Texas too. Also taken over by force? Force implies the use of, you know, force. Nobody was hurt, nobody was shot, nobody was terrorized. You guys are really stretching

Obviously I read it, as I replied specifically too it. The comparison to ISIS is made in the first paragraph of that article! Did you read it? If you took away the guns these guys sound more like hippies sitting in on a national park. The comparison to ISIS is embarrassing. Also what happens when people protest unarmed? They get the crap kicked out of them by the police. Since when did you guys start sucking the dicks of cops?
