With a title like "brutally beats journalist" I was expecting worse than that. Still really shitty of them but to say they should be listed and treated as a terrorist organization is pretty disconcerting. The government has granted itself extensive powers to deal with terrorism, to tolerate that is already bad enough IMO but to ask that the surveillance and security apparatus constructed in post 9/11 America be turned on US citizens in America is really short sighted. Today its Antifa that is designated a terrorist organization, maybe tomorrow its The Proud Boys or or some other right wing organization.
Its threads like these that make me laugh whenever people say that taking away guns would lead to a civil war. All you would need to malign the gun owners would be a few incidents like these and people like you would call them terrorists and have the government go after them with impunity. See
@PainIsLIfe, this is what I was referring to earlier. These guys are just throwing milkshakes and shooting string, imagine what Americans engaged in an armed struggle with the government would be perceived as if framed in the right manner.
