I think you may need to broaden your definition of a terrorism act.

But if we do that we get the farcical situation where people chaining themselves up to a coal mine gate get branded as terrorists, and we need laws to spy on them, their families, their friends and associates to stop them from committing acts of terrorism.

If this guy starts shooting everyone and blows up the place, or it is shown that is his plan, then it is quite justified to call it an act of terrorism. On the outcomes so far not yet.

If someone released an album called "Muhammad and the Chocolate Box" Yusuf Islam would probably be calling for them to be beheaded. Just ask Salman Rushdie about Yusuf Islam's peace loving ways.

You must scare easy. I have never felt terror at the sight of a greenie chained to a coal mine gate, tree or bulldozer.

Not really, a broader definition loses meaning and also allows governments to encompass acts that are not meant to be covered.

This is not terrorism...yet.

Seriously what the **** is wrong with people?

You miss my point. If we start broadening the meaning of terrorism all sorts of things that are clearly not terrorism start falling under the umbrella of terrorism, usually those acts of civil disobedience against the government of the day or their corporate mates. Then the terrorism laws can be invoked and dissent can not only stifled but it can also become a criminal offence to even report on it.

I think this would qualify as a terrorist act and certainly is terrorism IMO. We have a hostage situation where the hostages have been forced to display a Shahada flag. The offenders are attempting to instil terror into our society through their actions. This isn't a robbery or a protest.

May be over anyway...

Edit: or not.

Neighbour's got the plumber fixing their toilet so they just came over to use our crapper.

Let rip with the loudest fart I've ever heard. Pretty sure they cracked the porcelain.

Didn't even spray the air freshener after.

Hit and run...
