If a group of Militia that you dubbed to be "right wing" militia took over a section of a city and called it an autonomous zone, guarded it with guns and demanded money from residents as protection, took over police stations,
Would you call it Domestic Terrorism?
Its often been said that the greatest threat is not Terrorism from the Middle East, but Domestic terrorism right here in the U.S. and mostly Right wing militias. So far have not seen any Right wing militias in operation, but I have seen mob rule where the mob is demanding a mayor resign.... demanding police be defunded. No vote, no discussion... only mob rule.
Again, would you call this Domestic terrorism if Right Wingers were doing this for any reason they thought justified?
Of course I am not of the dreaded "left wing", but just thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth, as I have found statement on here from the right and the left where the poster had not read the papers except from their side and were unaware of Federal Terrorist charges and other news not to be found inside the bubbles of either side. I am certainly not saying the left wing extremists are not to blame for major disruptions in these riots, initially started by police violence against blacks.
A quick search under "right wing terrorist spark violence at protests found this.
