    If the rioters are being paid as rumored, wouldn't the person funding them be funding terrorism?

    To clarify: armed people occupy a government building and damage property in protest are freedom fighters worthy or your support. Protesters who occupy the street and damage property are terrorists?

    Yes.

    They were not funded by a leftist billionaire nor were they destroying private property because they didn't get their way when the chosen one got thumped in an election.

    BTW: acquitted.

    Prosecuters picked the wrong charges on that case. And any proof of Sorors buying rocks for the rioters, or you read a "rumor" and desperately want it to be true?

    I see paying protesters as pretty dumb, and 100% not terrorism. So I really don't give a shit.

    no. buying civil unrest sets a very dangerous precedent.

    Assuming there is no agreement between paid protesters and the person paying them to start riots or cause violence, there is nothing anyone could do about it.
    Is it even true btw? Does anyone even know what role paid protesters actually played in anything if it is?

    You (and others) are lumping protesters in with rioters. Way to go.

    It just make you all look like angry folk, looking to blame and generalize a huge number of people doing what is completely their right.

    I thought the subject of this was about rioters. Not even sure if that term is accurate, but open for another (if even needed) for those who get off on burning shit, breaking shit, spray-painting shit, treating others like shit.

    I'm not generalizing, General!

    Damn, that's quite a list of deplorable crybabies!
    Seems to me like a lot of those stories are bullshit.

    What has happened that you see as terrorism? You do know the difference between protests, riots, civil disobedience, and terrorism, right?
    Terrorism is defined as using violence to achieve political gains.

    I'd say it fits like a glove.

    I didn't see violence committed by anyone other than the government when they were shooting the vehicles with women in them.

    That's because you are biased. You rail on the government for it's threat of force but forgive the Bundys. A hillbilly wannabe sniper with his sights trained on a federal agent is an act of violence in the exact same way that an officer drawing his weapon and pointing it at you,is an act of violence.

    The violence began when the feds showed up.

    They tend to do that when you openly and flagrantly break the law for years at a time.


    In your utopian anarchy, what would you do if your neighbor grazes your land?
