Kind of fits the definition, doesn't it? Hopefully there's a peaceful resolution to this, but I certainly wouldn't support a "deal" with them. No negotiations with terrorists.
terrorism (n): the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
This protest was lawful. It's allowed under our Constitutional Rights.
There was no violence.
There was no intimidation.
It was not against civilians. It was against our government. Something that is allowed in our Constitution.
It was not for political purposes. It was to protest overreach by our government.

Looking at that picture in the OP, I'd mean the allegedly "true Americans" who are too damn stupid to know how the flag they so allegedly love should be displayed. I fear the idiocy of some citizens and those who attempt to glorify them.
No, it is NOT patriotism! That's safety and security of the building! There are buildings that check firearms. Federal buildings are one! That's not taking away your rights. It gets checked when you walk into a federal building. Once you leave, you can have your firearm back!
Firearms are allowed in that building. We have a right to bear arms.
Please tell me what was unsafe about this protest?
Free assembly. Life, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness. Among others.
I heard a few of the spokesmen and I have no idea what they are specifically protesting for, does anyone. They really don't sound like the brightest bunch, do they want restaurants and movie theaters to reopen or is if just the garden center at the box stores or boat ramps. I still have no idea what the legislators suing the governor want, what exactly is their proposal.
Instead of jamming up traffic they should go help out at a food bank, mop up an ICU ward or donate platelets. Its really crazy how some states have these right wing groups ignoring health science because they know better. Thank god it is just a few hundred selfish entitled people.
It's my risk to take. I can wear PPE in public not that it does any good. You stop worrying about me and stop imposing your fears and obviously ineffective rules and standards on those of us with the means and will to go about our lives.
I'm not worrying about you. I'm worrying about me or others who have health issues. It would all be well and good if you getting ill was just about you. But it may not be. You could spread the virus to others. Sorry, no man is an island. So no, it's not just about you.
