"...The guideline defines a terrorist act as a crime involving or intended to promote a federal crime of terrorism, as defined at 18. U.S.C. 2332b(g).

Because sec. 2332b is entitled "Acts of Terrorism Transcending National Boundaries," the defendants argued that their purely domestic acts, aimed at the government's domestic policy, could not qualify for the enhancement.

But the court disagreed: "It doesn't matter why the defendants oppose capitalism and the United States government — if they use violence and intimidation to further their views, they are terrorists...""

Tax collectors and cops can be legally considered as terrorist now! When government agencies and agents use violence and intimidation to further their views, they are terrorists. According to their own laws and it's a federal crime. It doesn't matter why — if they use violence and intimidation to further their views, they are terrorists.

Power to the peaceful!

They likely forgot to state "except for government thugs."

Indeed, the phrase just before that is more important -- oppose the US government. The US government, by definition, cannot oppose itself, because it IS. Under this ruling, however, ANY action that is in opposition to the ruling class/party is a terrorist event. So yes, any civil dis that is in opposition to any government rule, according to this ruling, is a terrorist event, if anyone FEELS intimidated.
