Terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

The Black Lives Matter organization has been committing terrorist acts for months. From the violent riots, use of physical force to block highways and streets, looting and arson, they have done a great many things that constitute terrorism. The continued call for attacks and murder of police officers and white people are just more of the same.

A president who's priority was the safety and security of the American people would have stepped up months ago. All the resources of the federal government, including the FBI, Marshal's Service and the courts would be used to end this violence against Americans. Instead, we have a president that supports and condones these violent acts.

The presidency will change very soon-either to "more of same" or to someone that actually respects American lives, and the property and livelihood of American citizens. Will President Trump do the right thing? Will he go after these terrorists and use the power of the federal government to restore peace to our cities? Or will he allow the riots, the assaults, the arson to continue?

Perhaps equally important, will he go after those that have funded these terrorists? Prosecute the companies and individuals involved, the same as if they were funding ISIS?

No. Don't expect Trump to do anything he promises if he becomes President. He will quickly find out his hands are much more tied that he thinks.

It's up to the city/state to :

Enforce the Law

Declare a State of Emergency, or not.

To request the assistance of the National Guard and determine their role, or not

To declare a curfew, or not

To enforce a curfew, or not

Put 5 people in a room to determine what " doing the right thing" is and you will likely have 5 different perspectives

When Trump gets in I want him to enforce existing laws and stop the liberal judges from being stupid.

A few years back a bunch of hippies blocked the highway into Boston by chaining themselves to barrels filled with cement.
They tied up traffic for hours. When you think about the people who were inconvenienced that day who missed their flights, who missed their day of surgery... there is no telling how many plans were ruined and money wasted.

Those bozos had their day in court one year after their stupid act of defiance and the judge let them go without any jail time, without a fine, without so much as an apology to the people of Boston. On the way out a news reporter asked one of them if she would do it again ans she said "yeah why not"


There has to be consequences for bad actions or the bad will be repeated. Every looter who destroys public or private property needs to pay for what they have done either through jail time or community service picking up the very neighborhood that they destroyed.

If people were actually held accountable for their action maybe they would think twice before they took to the streets to destroy.
That would be one way to slow or even stop this terrorism.

Should have just hauled them, barrels and all to the harbor. And dumped the whole lot of trash.

You want equality - we agree that you should get equality. No one should get a pass on these types of criminal acts - wonder why they keep committing them?

As my dear Grandmother use to say: Our govt officials need to grow a pair.

He is our last hope. If he doesn't do something our country will continue its downward spiral and those of us who remember an America that was brave and a world power will only have memories of what it once was to tell the next generation....

Odd thing is-ranchers holding a protest at a wildlife refuge in the middle of nowhere get more punishment than terrorists looting, burning buildings and obstructing interstate highways.
