Terrorism - Noun- the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.

Fits the definition for me. Prosecute it as such.

Thanks for reminding people that terrorism has a pretty precise definition. I get annoyed when people use "terrorism" to mean, more or less, stuff I don't like.

Its actually quite simple. I really don't care if it is called terrorism, vandalism, property destruction... It is unlawful property destruction and those who do so need to be prosecuted and punished for the purpose of property rights and rule of law. Plus go after those who incite the property destruction whether it is verbally or financially.

If someone takes part in an organized campaign to vandalize synagogues or churches is it your position that the prosecution should focus only on the property destruction aspect?

My comment should apply to any situation where there is intentional property damage. Teslas, places of worship, baby stroller, dog house...

The facts of the current case are not analogous to the one you present of religious discrimination.

Why not? The Tesla burners aren’t doing it because they like fires. They’re doing it to attack participation in the political process and to send a message that you better not support that person by buying a Tesla or else your car might be damaged or destroyed, too.

🤣 yes, the ginned up “insurrection”! I guess they forgot to bring their guns, but rest assured, the FBI and police had their’s.

Charlottesville is the model. The power of the state was used to quash lawful dissent. It must now be used to crush unlawful insurrection

So, Trumps's threats to Iran are terrorism, by that standard. As are Netanyahu's threats to Lebanese and Palestinians.

Will you call for arrest warrants?

Nothing unlawful about responding to terrorists who initiate violence. In USA it's the progressives that are initiating violence as it is Hamas and other Islamist factions. They know no peace but seek blood of innocents.

The stock skyrocketed up after inauguration and then went way down before the current vandalism campaign. And it hasn’t changed much since then, in my observation. Furthermore, the post-inauguration settle point is still a high water mark for Biden years.

It seems to me like your own view of this has been unduly influenced/hijacked by the Lefty commie terrorists.
