Anyone who resists "reasonable" government regulation will always be considered a threat by the part of the government that wrote the regulations. Depending on the nature of the resistance, you will fall somewhere along a continuum between being a protester and a terrorist. In this case people are pressing their rights by carrying deadly weapons, not pencils. So the government considers that sort of thing to be more terrorist than it is protesting.
Keep in mind we are talking about California.
The use of words have been used historically to manipulate people into the worst periods of human history, and it's about to happen here in America.
I'm not sure who gets to interpret what "reasonable" regulation is. From my perspective, the word is heavily abused and is completely arbitrary and subjective.
With OC, no rights are being "pressed", which seems to suggest some type of force, rather, they are being exercised. We can't compare a clearly lawful action against protesting or pressing anything, IMHO.
According to Blacks Law Dictionary, 7th edition, the
pre-9/11 definition of terrorism is
Terrorism, n. The use or threat of violence to intimidate or cause panic, esp. as a means of affecting political conduct
With respect to the OC movement, I'm unaware of anyone using violence, or the threat of violence, with intent to cause panic, or to affect political conduct. Likewise, other peaceful political movements in the U.S. are occurring, where we have incorrect labels of "terrorist" being applied to people who are participating in democracy. The label of "protester" is being thrown out by the wayside, because more power to control comes with the label of "terrorist", up to and including indefinite detainment in one of over 600+ existing FEMA prison camps across the U.S. (worst case scenario).
Therefore, I believe those honorable people executing these terrorism watch agencies operations, need to learn how to read the definitions of words that have explicit meaning, and apply some common sense, and stop passively following orders so they can "get paid". They each individually have a
duty to enforce laws, not take orders from those abusing their authority. We need patriots who will protect this country from enemies foreign,
and domestic.
LEO at the state & federal levels need to take notice, before they find themselves enforcing the will of some two bit American (or U.N.) tyrannical dictator.
