Why is This not Considered 'Domestic Terrorism'?

It seems to fit the label doesn't it? But the media can't seem to find the integrity to do so
Because terrorism has an actual definition already and robbing a store doesn't fit.
 
Too much gun violence in this country.
 

Terrorism is using violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political goal. This is simply organized crime. Just because violent crime causes fear and intimidation does not make violent crime itself "terrorism." We do not label most school shootings "terrorism" even though they inflict far more psychic damage than most terrorist attacks. And that is because most school shooters are violently-nihilistic, deranged boys, not political activists.
 
Using that definition, shouldn't EVERY person who stepped foot inside the capitol on Jan 6th be charged with domestic terrorism? What about those who organized the events at the capital on Jan 6th?
Interesting comment.
Perhaps your hatred for the right has killed off some of your brain cells.
How do you label someone who "stepped foot" into the capital on Jan 6th a domestic terrorist........since it is a public building open everyday for visitors?
But there were some terrorists there that day.....Pelosi was their leader, and the rest of her crew are he real threat to democracy.
 
Terrorism has a political motive to it... it is not just robbery or murder.
 
What exactly is a "Democratic flash mob?"
Anybody not waving the Confederate Flag or wearing a white hood?
 
Motivation makes the terrorist....

Why did they do this?
Because they are black?

I am just guessing about their race... but it would fit with the OP, I would imagine.
 
And that was an insane comment, the equating of insurrectionists as "visitors".....and equating the Speaker of the House as an insurrectionist.

It is idiotic Orwellian nonsense.
 
I see .. so a single case substantiates the millions of dollars of crime being committed by Black Americans? WTF .. get a grip on reality. If you owned a business and black americans were stealing merchandise from your store .. I'm sure you'd feel differently.
 
Per this definition, the Criminals stealing, would not be the Domestic terrorists, but a case could be made that these Liberal DA's in CA who are not prosecuting these crimes and allowing these "Pawns" to terrorize Businesses, People, and communities are !
 
No, that's just regular crime.

This is domestic terrorism...

No, it's a protest of the Coup that was committed against the American Voters !

And it can be proven If you are right or I'm am right !

In AZ they audited the Ballots AZ used to certify the Election ! Now is all they have to do is Go to the Voters with the
Ballots and confirm the LEGAL US VOTERS ballots are correct !

Some people in AZ did just that and they found MASS FRAUD ! If they are wrong or lying the Government should
do the same canvasing to confirm or rebut these finding! If these people lied jail them ! If they are not lying There was
a Coup in America !

Either way you slice it, it's in AMERICAS best interest to get to the TRUTH !!!
 
What exactly is a "Democratic flash mob?"

I don't know, but as long as it's nonviolent, it sounds like something fun!
 

Did you borrow that unhinged rhetoric from the 1/06 attackers?
 
How about no?

You don't get to officially ask people who they voted for.
 
60+ federal judges ruled that the votes were justly cast.
