It is "or", and I did not. Not if you haven't in the Charlottesville case. Also, I will say the appearance of intention of coercion is clearer in the case of freeway protesters than a in this case. Most of the protesters have signs explaining their intent. Also, if "No Justice No Peace" is not a form of intimidation (or threat) in your mind, you are without reason.silverscreenselect wrote:You miss the elements of coercion and intimidation.BackInTex wrote:Standing in the middle of a freeway is "dangerous to human life"silverscreenselect wrote: Well, according to the Patriot Act:

Most US based protesters standing in the middle of a freeway do so on freeways within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States

Yet I've never seen anyone, including Trump, Cruz, Sessions, SSS, or Bob#s call those protests terrorism. What am I missing?

I assume these are the freeway protestors that BiT is talking about:
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/P ... o-13743978
I don't see much coercion or intimidation here. I guess, however, by BiT's standards, that the blacks who sat down at segregated lunch counters in the 1960's were coercing or intimidating the white patrons.

As for "No Justice, No Peace," context means a lot. "Peace," in this context, is the same sort of thing I have repeatedly said in response to flock's past demands that I stop airing my contempt for Donny. Not gonna happen. I'll continue to speak out. I don't think those signs can reasonably be interpreted as threats of violence. At most, they're threats to continue engaging in public demonstrations and perhaps even civil disobedience. --Bob

Re: Prayer for Senator McCain
I honestly don't see the point in labeling a murder or murders as 'terrorism' or 'hate crimes' AFTER it occurs. The act is the same whatever the motivation and should be treated as such for whomever did it and whatever the motivation.
What we need to do is find a way to prevent terrorist murders BEFORE they happen, without taking away the rights of people who have no intention of committing such acts. How do we do that? I really don't know. But the people who insist that old ladies and children be frisked at airports in order for it to be 'fair' need to give some ground so that all of us can both be protected and retain our freedoms.

I agree with your thoughts regarding the importance of using the correct word. I certainly agree with your classification of McVeigh, Muhammad, and Malvo. I think I agree about Rudolph. Not so sure about Kaczynski, but I think what pushes me to agree with you is the manifesto that was finally used to catch him. Never heard of McKenna.BackInTex wrote:I feel it important.
