That definitely sounds like terrorism to me, even if it doesn't rise to the level of what we see from ISIS or such. I don't know if you can say definitively that if these were black men involved in armed insurrection against the U.S. government they would be dead by now, but I'm certain there would be a much stronger reaction, not to mention Fox News shitting bricks.
This is the problem with labeling them terrorists. What do you think the government is supposed to do if terrorists seized federal land? Obvious the government would go in with force and wipe them out. Is that what you think should be done to people who haven't committed any acts of violence? Are we the thought police that we are willing to use force against people for future crimes?
That's a very good point and I agree with you on that.
