That is literally the definition of terrorism. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=terrorism+definition You can have that definition... but that would make pretty much any politically motivated riot "terrorism". And I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that. Particularly considering the legal implications. I'll be straight up: If you insist the capitol rioters were terrorists, and courts uphold that. It could establish precedent that politically motivated rioters are terrorists. And if that precedent is set, I really don't see how that doesn't really hurt some like BLM or something protest in alabama down the line. I don't think that's a road we want to go down, the government can kinda throw out people's rights if they label you a terrorist. The capitol rioters were criminals, many of which could be called violent. They deserve appropriate legal prosecution. I don't think we want to bust out the T word though.

Most people think Trumps speech inspired this riot at the capitol. If that is so we can't also say it was a premeditated terrorist attack. Also if they sincerely believed the gaslighting that they had been told that democracy itself had been stolen from them that also makes it different. They were a mob of angry people who had been convinced that democracy had been stolen from them, and they began behaving illegally and violently. But that is still different than premeditated efforts to causes maximum loss of life. Anybody coming in there with some premeditated plan to hurt or kill people, yes, you could make an argument against them. But the vast majority of people seem swept up by trump's rhetoric and so while bad, were not terrorists. You don't not want to expand the legal definition for what counts as a terrorist to include rioter with political motivations. That is very dangerous. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:956186476] in Fox News i...

Just because they were too stupid to do it and failed to accomplish what they were trying to doesnt make them any less of a terrorist. They are the textbook definition of terrorists. hell, a sitting congresswoman was live tweet the location of politicians so they could find her. What do you think they intended to do if they were able to get to her? Sit down and have a dignified chat with her? Come the fuck on, bro. Stop being so dense.</quote> Most people think Trumps speech inspired this riot at the capitol. If that is so we can't also say it was a premeditated terrorist attack.

I'm incredibly intelligent and logical so I know we shouldn't call people terrorists by definition if they aren't the worst terrorists possible. Well, you certainly shouldn't call them "no better than the terrorists on 9/11." I don't understand the motivation to try to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Everybody agrees it was very bad and these people need to be prosecuted severely. If you make that your argument you easily win. But if you make the argument "they are as bad as the worst terrorists who ever terrorized" you just shot yourself in the foot for no good reason. The need to engage in pointless hyperbole is taking away from an easy victory for society in condemning the hell out of what happened. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:956186625] in Fox News i...
