Gangs that roam the country terrorizing people. The definition of terror is so politically ridiculous. The government is basically stereotyping terrorists as exclusively ISIS and Al Qaeda or any other persons not a naturalized U.S. citizen. So if that is their game, then these criminals need to be called just what they are. Criminal Gangs. Criminal Gangs that roam the U.S. intimidating and murdering people.
The man that shot the Congressman on a baseball field was a lone, probably a mentally ill, conspiracy obsessed individual.
The criminal gangs who use white supremacy and fascist political beliefs as an excuse to terrorize people should have the same status as any other common criminal. Participation in that gang should be forbidden. Because it is a conspiracy to commit crimes, terror and murder. Those types of associations are against the law. Conspiracies to rob banks, commit murder and blow up buildings are prevented all the time resulting in the arrests of these conspirators.

Some identified as White Supremacists and Nazis. If that criminal gang association was illegal they would not be able to march anywhere.

(15,064 posts)Hate speech is considered free speech. But acting on that hate is illegal. They are criminals. Conspiring to commit terrorism and harm to innocent people.
