I didn't say its terrorism if its not on your property, I specifically mentioned it would be terrorism if it was on a black man's property as it would be an obvious case of intimidation. Taking down a statue may or may not fall under that but in this case I don't think it does because the purpose isn't to intimidate but to remove the symbol itself whereas cross-burning was done to intimidate blacks.If that's the point of delineation then I'll have to lean towards terrorism since the statues in question aren't realistically on the terrorist's own property. Most likely they're on public land.
Since the Klan just got refused a permit for burning a cross on public property I'd like to think there's some strict scrutiny reason for denying the First Amendment rights of assembling and speech.
