It doesn't matter if they're your political opponent or political ally. If they're a terrorist they're a terrorist and should be prosecuted as such. No need for insurrection apologetics.
Ah yes, but who will distinguish between terrorism and protest? The CHAZ/CHOP certainly had the hallmarks of an insurrection, too.
Edit: Ultimately, the decision/determination to charge someone with "terrorism" will be made by a District Attorney or some Attorneys General. These positions are all political in nature and the people holding these offices are under a great deal of pressure behind-the-scenes. THAT is where my trepidation comes from, as political adversary vs. political ally has a massive influence in who gets charged with what.
This nonsense has gone on long enough.
They never saw a mall they didn't want to burn. Nor a black church they didn't want to shoot up. When they do, and we all know they will, we can run the contact tracing and sweep up everyone from the foot soldier to the financier. We can even shine extremely bright lights on the orbiters and affiliates of these people to let them know we're watching and strangle their action avenues.
So in the end it won't matter. These people can't help themselves. All we need to do is watch and wait. The people in power will either accede to crushing these loonies, or we'll crush the loonies and the careers of the people in power in the process.
Domestic terrorism cannot be allowed to become commonplace. It's time to take things back in hand.
Yeah, I’m sure this will go over well.
We need more of this line of thinking in the US.
Watching malls burn had me mad, and then watching traitors carting electronic devices off from the Capitol building on their way over to Glover Park to hand them over to the Russians was the final straw. It's long past time extremists are excised from our society.
