Terrorism: "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims:"
Make it make sense because I'm not seeing how this is terrorism.

I'm rich and would rather the word mean something else entirely. Hey, now it does and I get to lock up people who disagree with things that benefit me. The law is only as good as those wielding it.
Full house cleaning needed in UK, US, Aus and some parts of Canada. The rot and corruption cannot stand.

If peaceful protest is going to carry the same sentence as violent terrorism, what's the point of trying to be peaceful?
