Guess you didn't see the footage of them attacking the police with sledgehammers?

Even if I hadn’t, I surely would have by now given the amount of “gotchas” in this thread using this crime as some kind of smoking gun justification for proscription.

But it is good to know that criminal assault is now equivalent to terrorism.

Whatever. I suggest you take some time to reflect on your biases. What if a group used similar tactics to try and shut down e.g. gay friendly spaces?

1) Uh.. not terrorism? Hate crime perhaps, but that should be decided by a jury, not unilaterally determined by the gov.

2) So arms manufacturers participating in a war (at best!) are now equivalent to.. gay establishments? I suggest thinking through your examples before sharing them :)

Ha, fair points. But i still think you're wrong. Any group going around hitting people with slegehammers shouldn't be tolerated.
