I remember the good old days when even throwing a few molotovs was considered good rioting skills, but "Terrorism"?.... Seriously? Are they such pussies in charge now that demonstrators are considered terrorists?
In answer to that question, yes.
The idea is to turn the people against protest...

Well, we need some examples to be made.
These three should do fine!
Now the masses will be terrified to even hold a sign!
Well how about that? Medieval terrorists. Given enough time surely their plan could have escalated to the making of catapults and trebuchets.
While friends of the three men insisted they were just operating a home brewery, prosecutors stated that police found a gun that fires mortar rounds, swords, a hunting bow, ninja-like throwing stars and knives with brass knuckle handles. The beer-brewing operation, prosecutors added, was used to fill bottles with gasoline that would later be thrown as Molotov cocktails.
Yet...
told a judge on Saturday that undercover police were the ones who brought the Molotov cocktails, and that their clients were entrapped. It was "entrapment to the highest degree," Deutsch said.
What's next, kids in the neighborhood with nerf guns? It's getting harder and harder for anti terror agencies in the US to justify their existence.
But Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy told reporters "the evidence speaks for itself" about what he called an "imminent threat." Chicago Police Department via AP Brent Vincent Betterly "They were making the bombs ... (and had) directions on how to implement this," added Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.

Are people in here actually defending people wanting to commit arson at a "peaceful protest?"
My god. Frigging morons.
In court, prosecutors accused the three men of "preparing for violence and destruction," such as stockpiling Molotov cocktails and other weapons, and planning attacks on police.
But the defense called those accusations "propaganda" and contended authorities "infiltrated" a peaceful group and set up the three men.

Are people in here actually believing whatever they're told without using critical thought nor reviewing both sides of the story, all while happily living with their head in the sand?
My god. Frigging morons.
