Left-wing extremists terrorise customers at London restaurant
|
They should certainly be fined, at least. This doesn't seem to me to be a legitimate form of protest. Maybe making them pay for everyone's meal would be an equitable punishment.

They commandeered a federal building by threatening violence with guns and vowed to fight to the death if needed. What would you call that? And I'm sure it had quite the effect on the people working at the preserve. If the best that people can come up with to demonize the extreme left is a group throwing bugs in a restaurant, there is clearly an extreme disparity between the lengths that the extreme right and the extreme left will go to.

All I'm saying is that you're going to have to come up with some pretty nasty stuff on the extreme left to prove that they're equal threats. I guess I can't really comment how it is over in the UK, but as far as over here in the states is concerned, the two sides aren't even close.

In this one they actually had an effect on other people. and who exactly did those guys terrorize or commit violence against? Oh yeah, no one. Throwing bugs in soup is more then any of them did. But for the record, neither of them are terrorists. I'd be extremely cautious about expanding the definition of terrorism beyond a very very strict definition. Especially considering that both presidential candidates want to shut down 'terrorist speech' and websites. Also calling it a federal building is only correct in a technical sense. It was an uninhabited station in the middle of nowhere. I'm more concerned about crickets in my soup then those guys. Which is to say, not at all. |
