They haven't done anything violent yet or terroristic yet. As for how they'd be treated if they were black, the black panthers did their marches armed quite frequently and weren't gunned down in mass. They were perceived as extremists, which they are, same with these guys. They are definitely extremists. But I don't think the idea that they'd be gunned down if they were black is backed up by much. A lone black man has a lot to fear from the cops, an armed group of them has less. That's just a silly statement that ignores the history (and modern times actually)
The OED defines terrorism as the use of violence or intimidation to achieve political goals.
They have committed a terrorist act, by definition.
George Washington would have sent the army against them.
