Yes, this is obviously domestic terrorism

No, this is not domestic terrorism

[Dongie]

Yes it is. You can disagree with the law but you can't destroy property because of it. I say 20 year sentences for all American citizens that harbor illegals and disrupt law enforcement actions.

[lightbulb27]

yes this is what people do when they are starting a war isn't it...

what next, raid the military depot?

I hate this as someone who hates Trump, hates Elon, thinks both are fascists and a threat to democracy and I still think this is unacceptable behavior and an act of terrorism 1. Motivated by political ideology. 2. It by design was meant to intimidate a rival political party. 3. Massive potential for causing death including those of sympathizers to their cause. I watched a house burn down with 5 kids inside all younger than 13. Fire doesn't discriminate it's kills everyone equally and spreads as it pleases. 4. Massive damage to property by arson.

Below is the definition of terrorism.

Legally, terrorism is often defined as the unlawful use of force or violence, or the threat thereof, to intimidate or coerce a government or civilian population, often in furtherance of political or social objectives.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the legal definition of terrorism:
Unlawful Use of Force or Violence:
Terrorism typically involves acts of violence or the threat of violence that are illegal and not justified under the law.
Intimidation or Coercion:
The primary purpose of terrorism is to instill fear and compel a government or population to act or refrain from acting in a certain way.
Political or Social Objectives:
Terrorist acts are often motivated by a desire to advance a particular political, religious, or social agenda.
Non-State Actors:
While state-sponsored terrorism can occur, terrorism is often associated with actions by non-state actors, such as groups or individuals, who are not part of the government.
Examples of terrorist acts:

Acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State
Activities that appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population
Activities that appear to be intended to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion
Activities that appear to be intended to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping
International vs. Domestic Terrorism:
Legally, terrorism can be categorized as international or domestic, depending on whether the perpetrators are influenced by foreign terrorist organizations or if the acts occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
Legal Definitions Vary:
While the general concept of terrorism is widely understood, the specific legal definitions and classifications of terrorist acts can vary across different jurisdictions and legal systems

Domestic Terrorism: Ideologically driven crimes committed by individuals in the United States that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy or conduct of a government.

Clearly the crimes are ideologically driven as left wing extremists attack right wing political offices with arson and vandalism that mentioned the KKK and ICE so it could also be considered a hate crime and a threat towards federal officials.

[Dargil]

It has vandalism and arson. Bear in mind the KKK was invented by Democrats. So maybe the Democrat National Committee headquarters should be set on fire and marked with graffiti.

[noohair]

It is done to terrorize, thus it is terrorism...
