They're not labeled terrorists because they are lily white, thus the nicknames Y'all Queda and Vanilla ISIS. If they were people of color, they would've been smoked, shot, or droned out of there by now.
Sad reality though isn't it? The down-playing of their actions and what not? I don't think it has everything to do with their skin-color; though that's a big part of it.
Look at what happened in Waco, so of course race is not the end-all be-all here, it's a group of things. How much money do we put on these ranchers being Trump supporters? Any takers?
Political trolling nice
It has nothing to do with race. Are you certain they are all white?
Your definition of terrorism (websters) is not a criminal definition.
If you are a terrorist a whole different set of protocol, hearings, law enforcement, etc is used.
These guys are just your standard criminals.
They are not planning to kill anyone.
Put a fence around them don't let them leave let the media have their 24 hr feed.
When they get hungry arrest them.
No need to ship them off to secret courts and prisons.
According to the FBI's definition -
www.fbi.gov...
Definitions of Terrorism in the U.S. Code
18 U.S.C. § 2331 defines "international terrorism" and "domestic terrorism" for purposes of Chapter 113B of the Code, entitled "Terrorism”:
"International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*
"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
18 U.S.C. § 2332b defines the term "federal crime of terrorism" as an offense that:
Is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct; and
Is a violation of one of several listed statutes, including § 930(c) (relating to killing or attempted killing during an attack on a federal facility with a dangerous weapon); and § 1114 (relating to killing or attempted killing of officers and employees of the U.S.).
* FISA defines "international terrorism" in a nearly identical way, replacing "primarily" outside the U.S. with "totally" outside the U.S. 50 U.S.C. § 1801(c).
And ?
And you said
Your definition of terrorism (websters) is not a criminal definition.
When it was clearly stated the definitions are both websters and FBI's - which FBI deems criminal, despite you saying otherwise. Who are you kidding?

Yes they are. Their demands are to release two people indicted on federal arson charges as well as having the federal government hand over federal land to local ranchers.
No they are not. They are not terrorizing the public to bring about change. They are simply outlaws.
So I take it if a group of American muslims did this, you would be saying the same? That they are simply outlaws?
Yes I would. Because there is a difference of Muslims taking over an abandoned building fr away from the public and protesting than trying to create panic in public
Yea right, you'd be screaming your lungs out saying they are staging a headquarters on American soil, cut it out.
But there is a public perception of Muslims because of the actions some have taken. Not the case here. These groups have never been involved in mass killing
So you've never heard of Jonestown then?
They are connected to Jonestown?
I never claimed that.
You were instigating that only 'Muslim' extremists (in general) are more prone to mass murder... I'm simply pointing out that it is simply not true.

Why are we bringing blacks into this? Of those 100 can you give me their criminal history (if any) to determine their bad habits, or lack of them?
Clarence Aaron went to prison in 1993, at the age of 23. He was involved in a drug deal, but was neither the buyer nor the seller. He didn’t touch the drugs or collect any money. All he did was introduce the two men involved in the transaction and it has cost him his life.
Aaron didn’t plead guilty when he was arrested, largely because he didn’t believe he did anything wrong. Because of this, he received three life sentences. Neither Presidents Bush nor Clinton chose to commute the incredibly long sentence given to a young man who was in college and had no criminal record.

They haven't, which if you read the thread topic is what this post is about. Anything else, or is this interrogation over?

Sure here are plenty on the lack of criminal records, here's one but there's thousands if you care to do some research, I'm no one's slave so I won't.

easier sentence and release are two entirely different things, if the time was DROPPED to an additional 6 months, no one would complain. It's the 5 years thing...5 years.

No. Because they are white, they are labeled 'activists'. If they weren't white they'd be called 'terrorists'.

I suppose that's how the cookie crumbles, in a democratic system.
If they had of just 'peacefully protested' and gained the support of the local community, then they'd be freedom fighters.
But they made the decision to break into a federally owned building well armed and threatened violence onto the authorities if confronted, without the support of the people... that makes them terrorists, by definition.
