    Coerce what?

    That's why I say it wasn't terrorism. More like a protest - the removal of the statue.

    Well the asshole who ran people over IS a terrorist, he drove his car into a group of people to INTIMIDATE them and KILL them. That's a pretty clear cut case of domestic terrorism. Just like the crazy Bernie bro that shot the politician, just like that dude in Dallas who killed all those cops, just like that little inbred shitstick who burnt down that black church.

    That doesn't cut it. Not everyone who drives a car into a crowd of people is a terrorist. It's happened a few times.

    The march was intimidation, sure. To fit Nik's definition of "terrorism" there has to be some political motive. Protesting the removal of the statue isn't that kind of political motive.

    Ha! A twenty year old from Ohio is likely to be popping oxycodone rather knowing zip about Robert E Lee.

    Wouldn't that be a good thing? If someone did that they are fighting the good fight imo.

    Don't need to know history to be a white power racist fuckstain. Dude probably is just pissed that black people can say nigga and he can't.

    Seems pretty clear he wanted to kill and seriously injure people who were of a different political belief. Why don't you want to call him a terrorist?

    You don't have to be a programmer to know what "or" means.

    Man I got nothing but love for all y'all in here. I ain't trying to troll, or be mean, or whatever. Excuse my snark I guess, but I feel pretty strongly about these shitbirds.

    imo, if somebody is infiltrating a Nazi group to try and bring them down, yeah, they are cool in my book.

    McMaster calls Charlottesville attack terror

    National security advisor H.R. McMaster on Sunday said the car attack at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. was terrorism.

    “I certainly think any time that you commit an attack against people to incite fear, it is terrorism. It meets the definition of terrorism,” McMaster told ABC’s “This Week."

    McMaster’s comments come one day after a vehicle mowed down a group of counter-protesters at the white supremacist rally, leaving one person dead and multiple others injured.

    James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Ohio was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the car attack, and federal officials have opened a civil rights investigation.



    McMaster on Sunday called for the United States to “extinguish in our nation” the “hatred and bigotry” on display in Virginia.
    “We have to do that by asking ourselves what are we teaching our children around the dinner table. What are we teaching our children in school?” he asked.

    “We ought to be teaching them about what makes America exceptional, and that’s our commitment to the rights of every individual, liberty, freedom, respect for each other regardless of race, religion, and so forth.”

    President Trump received criticism following his statement after the attack when he condemned hatred and bigotry but put the blame on “many sides.”
