    you agree with the practice of inflating the cost of crime so that any action can be considered terrorism? seems a bit much for me and backing of government oppression.

    terrorism has a meaning, and is not dependent on amounts of property damage.

    this is the same thing as redefining illegal immigrants as enemy combatants so you can suspend habeous corpus, and other human rights

      Where in my comment did I say I agree or disagree with any of it?

      terrorism has a meaning, and is not dependent on amounts of property damage.

      If you would understand my comment you would realize that is pretty much exactly what I said.

        ‘ they are not being sentenced as terrorists, just sentenced as committing terroristic actions’ is an argument without purpose.

        the discussion is around the inflation of the crime to scare people from pushing against what is happening.

          Ok, so you don’t care about the legal process that’s being used here. That’s cool. Personally I like being informed and find it interesting.
