you are ridiculousWell so you decided to apply critical thinking and lump all violence into one bucket - terrorism, because it is convenient for you?
The FBI/DHS determine what is terrorism.
Opportunistic vandalism and destruction of property during protests are random acts of violence and do not fall in that category.
Per the FBI:
Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
Per this definition it is right wing extremism that is most prevalent in the the United States.
I don't know why you have such a hard time just accepting a fact.
When it comes to Black Lives Matter, there’s no credible case for labeling it a terrorist organization. One analysis of the Black Lives Matter protests found that 93 percent were peaceful, and some of the violent incidents at the rallies were simply opportunistic vandalism.![]()
Who is a terrorist, actually?
An overly broad application of the "terrorism" label can make it more difficult to understand violent groups, thereby limiting our ability to respond effectively.www.brookings.edu
Most of the protest leaders have tried to stop looting and other violence, recognizing this is counterproductive as well as wrong. Moreover, Black Lives Matter is an open movement with a host of organizations participating along with self-proclaimed supporters rather than a tight group with a defined membership. Thus, labeling the movement as a whole as violent is false.
But not all violence is terrorism, either. In many instances, even those who do actively promote and use violence don’t merit the label “terrorist.”
did you honestly think law abiding citizens were not terrorized by BLM riots and arson in their communities?
