    Just cause you fail at terrorism doesn't mean you aren't a terrorist.

    Is anyone who participated in the riots motivated by police discrimination towards black citizens in the last two years a terrorist?

    They used force, in many cases indiscriminately, and they had a political motivation (coerce the government to stop systemic discrimination).

    it is incorrect to ascribe motivations to rioters. it is not a planned action. It is threshold crowd thing.


    the guy who murdered cops in houston? He planned that. He had a clear motivation. He used force. To inspire political change. He is a terrorist.

    They moistly come out at night, moistly.

    Certainly an argument can be made that he was a terrorist, he fits pretty close to an operational definition though his targeting wasn't necessarily indiscriminate. Just like an argument could be made that Dylan Roof committed a terrorist act, though it would hinge on how you could make it fit into a systematic campaign.

    So far no one in this thread has yet to show how this group would meet an operational definition of terrorism.

    Political Motivation (Check)
    (Threat of) Force (Check)
    Indiscriminate Targeting (Nope)
    Systematic (Maybe)

    this group indiscriminately denied access to the federal park to all civilians, though threat of force.
    they planned this and continued to act in this manner throughout their period of activity.


    indiscriminate is dumb qualification, and the guy in houston absolutely put the lives of not cops at risk.

    Your operational definition of terrorism isn't really shared by the legal code, and is reductively narrow. I'm not sure that you really get to assert such a specific interpretation when there's nothing like a mass social, legal, academic, etc., agreement, and to the extent that there is such an agreement it contradicts you.

    I just have to lol at this.

    I don't like these people either, but you're reaching so hard for this.

    Your operational definition of terrorism isn't really shared by the legal code,

    The Legal Code includes attacks against property, which I already addressed.
    and is reductively narrow.

    Can you come up with one that doesn't include those four elements which isn't uselessly vague?

    “The deliberate creation and exploitation of fear through violence or the threat of violence in the pursuit of political change. It is specifically designed to have far-reaching psychological effects beyond the immediate victim(s) or object of terrorist attack. It is meant to instill fear within and thereby intimidate, a wider ‘target audience’ that might include a rival ethnic or religious group, an entire country, a national government or political party or public opinion in general. It is designed to create power where there is none or to consolidate power where there is very little. Through the publicity generated by their violence, terrorists seek to obtain the leverage, influence and power they otherwise lack to effect political change on either a local or an international scale”

    To be frank, if you can't see how your quotes are out of alignment with what you're espousing, you're settled in to a level of dogma on the subject that I don't want to waste time engaging with. And if you honestly believe the opinion your putting out is somehow ubiquitous, I'd urge you to broaden your reading on the subject.

    Anyone who showed up to the Refuge hoping to go to work and had the tower sniper aiming a rifle at them.

    Any police trying to do their job and arrest them, who were also targeted.

    The officers at the roadblock Finicum attempted to run over with his truck.

    The child in his vehicle he endangered by doing so.

    Yeah...I don't agree with your elimination of law enforcement from the definition of "innocents" either.

    And if you don't believe pointing a rifle at someone is a use of force, go ahead and try it and see how the law treats you.

    If you had no intention of actually discussing anything beyond saying "You're wrong", then why even engage in the first place?

    And if you honestly believe the opinion your putting out is somehow ubiquitous, I'd urge you to broaden your reading on the subject.

    Perhaps you could make some suggestions then.

    There's a pretty clear pattern of how these discussions seem to go:

    Disagreement about X
    Attack poster (in this case the first was an implication of racist intent)
    Dismiss any further posts by claiming the high ground of not engaging with vague lamentations of the poster's ignorance without actually addressing any arguments

    So what actual use of force (per the definition given by Laqueur not threat of force) occurred and who were the victims?

    It's fun to ignore the context of posts in a discussion!

    That was in reply to the claim that had Finicum managed to kill an LEO specifically because they were attempting to arrest him, or someone attempting to go to the reserve and killed an LEO who attempted to stop them, made those actors terrorists.

    Again, I don't agree with these people. That doesn't mean I'm so quick to label them terrorists.

    It seems like there is a major issue on this forum of conflating a poster with someone they are discussing. Because I'm arguing that the actions of these people doesn't meet an operational definition of terrorism per the previous, hyperbolic, comparison to the Islamic State, it's inferred that I agree with these people and that I'm going to go point a rifle at someone.

    When have I refused to engage in a discussion with anyone in this thread? I've replied to plenty of posts here and was only dismissive of someone who jumped pretty quickly to imply racist intent.

    People are free to disagree on terminology or definition. That does not mean I am required to change my mind or argument.

    Because a number of us consider it to be terrorism and some others do not. So now we're arguing about it.

    I'm about ready to go the Potter Stewart route, i.e. "I know it when I see it."

    You're still not using a legal definition of terrorism. Which you can find here

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331

    You will note no such distinction for indiscriminateness or a necessity to target civilians. If it's illegal and dangerous to human life it is terrorism when a civilian population is attempted to be coerced or government is attempted to be changed.

    So yea they're terrorists.

    I get that, but how's that relate to the actual case? Do you think they should have been charged with terrorism instead? That such charges would have been more or less successful?

    Just because they didn't succeed in having more then 1 shootout doesn't change that they were using force.

    Goosiness = disagreement now?
    (5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
    (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
    (B) appear to be intended—
    (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
    (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
    (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
    (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

    I've addressed the US legal definition in a previous post. I've argued that it's too vague for any real operational definition.

    Going by this definition, threatening a group of people with a firearm while you rob them can be construed as an act of domestic terrorism.

    I think it's telling that this group wasn't charged with Domestic Terrorism. Before you argue that it's because they are white, there was an entire decade characterized by "white" terrorism (militia movement), the seminal event (OKC) of which influenced the original legislation that would become the USA Patriot Act (Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995).

    I'm not dodging anything. First, you made a statement, you didn't ask a question. Second, my point is that once you start shedding elements of the definition you start getting into a territory of vagueness in which labeling something as terrorism is arbitrary.

    Rand. You have not argued that the definition is too vague. You have stated it(it is also not too vague) You haven't even described what an "operational definition" is as opposed just a regular old "definition". Yet you keep repeating it as if it has any meaning.

    You've given definitions based on authority (though whose authority I have no clue) and seem to claim authority yourself. Your sole argument seems to be that you do not like the definition because it places these people squarely in the terrorist set.

    Additionally it's worth noting that demanding tribute can be terrorism. It's only so if you're demanding tribute from an entire population.

    This actually sums up the Malheur occupation pretty well.
    They used armed guards to stop traffic to and from the reservation, including waylaying reporters with armed groups, and fought with people attempting to get them and the young children at the occupation to voluntarily leave with their parents. So there's a definite threat of violence.

    They were trying to overturn the government's ability to claim land for federal wildlife reservations beyond just Malheur, and they called out for more groups to rise up. They attempted to inspire others to join them or do similar to them. So there's your far-reaching psychological effects, and targeting a wider audience.

    They set up multiple sweeps of the property, roadblocks, and groups forming the perimeter of the area during the first two weeks, by the third they didn't have enough people to do much. The police cordon wasn't set up until late in the event. There was no law enforcement presence for a long time except for a sheriff offering to escort them all to the county line.

    Edit: Here's one of the stories detailing it
    http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/01/militants_in_oregon_back_down.html
    Before the protesters stood down, they had moved heavy construction equipment belonging to the federal government across refuge roads.

    Some of them tended a bonfire at the entrance through the night and supporters were posted as a first alert along the road leading to the refuge about 30 miles outside of Burns.

    I ask because I definitely remember the Bundy clan doing all of the above in and around their Nevada compound (especially the "armed groups pulling over cars on the road" bit), but I really don't remember it happening in Oregon.
