What’s it called when people use the threat of violence and intimidation to push a political agenda?
Why is everyone afraid to call a terrorist a terrorist?
Because he is a white conservative.

Hey, man, that guy is not nearly brown enough to be a terrorist. We call the white ones “lone wolves”.
/s, but like also, sadly not really /s
He’s just a troubled young man /s
…who just happened to be standing with seven of his lone wolf friends.

You might need a dictionary there. This is exactly what terrorism is. It’s not just driving planes in towers.
This is like people who don’t consider white people immigrants, they’re “expats”. If your contry is invaded and you fight back, you might be called a terrorist but you won’t be one, unless of course you terrorise the population and use fear instead of attacking military targets.
This isn’t a debate of falsely labeling something as terrorism for disinformation. It doesn’t matter who is right in terrorism.
The difference between a terrorist and a rebel is their targets. This kid attacked innocent civilians to scare them away from voting. That’s terrorism. Violence in resistance to oppression should be directed at the oppressors.
that’s an argument against ever using the word terrorist, which is a bit much
Williams was accompanied by seven other male teens, ages 16 and 17, who police said went to the Beaches Branch Library “to protest and antagonize the opposing political side.”
Oh great, this was a whole group and they let the others go
We’re going to see much more of this in the coming days. At least one shooting at a poll place will undoubtedly happen, and more than likely an actual shootout old-west style where multiple people show up armed and it escalates.
I’m not just guessing – this is based on what people have actually said. Some idiots have proudly proclaimed they’ll go to the polls armed and sound to be spoiling for a confrontation.
I hope nobody is actually killed, but I won’t be surprised. This election is already hotter than I’ve ever seen, with bomb threats, election offices being shot at, drop boxes set on fire, etc, and it’ll only get worse. The fascists are itching for bloodshed.

Remind him who won that last time
This lib will be armed and voting LIVE.
Florida. Only reason he’s still alive is his skin color.
He looks so sad. Yet, was happy and smiling when brandishing that machete. I’m sure he’ll something to smile about in jail.
Yeah, all the neonazis in prison will consider him a hero
They might “protect” him, but nothing is free…

Another guy going to jail for Trump. He’s hopefully about to learn the Tate/Peterson/Trump bro immunity doesn’t apply to him.
“We are absolutely appalled that nothing other than Harris’s divisive rhetoric has caused people to commit violence.”
Oh wow!
I didn’t expect them to go high.
The ad before it really softens the blow
And why did no one man the fuck up and beat the snot out of him and his friends? This isn’t a pearl-clutching, “call the violent authorities” issue. This is a “beat the fuck out of them on sight” issue.
Trying to beat up someone holding a machete may not be the brightest idea
We got a real badass over here!
Because it’s illegal I assume?
Brandishing a weapon to intimidate could maybe be argued as a threat, and perhaps a self defense of, “I felt threatened”, may carry weight, especially when the weapon is illegal brandished. Probably not, but the dude should have had his ass kicked before getting arrested, imo.
Oh right he had a weapon.
It’s two older ladies. So they ain’t doing that.
Stand your ground law says it isn’t.
Oh right, that as well.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
This and anyone trying to subvert the election process, especially by intimidating voters, have no life value, and should not exist. Arresting them should be the best thing that happens to these terrorists.
This seems about right considering one of the US political parties is telling everyone daily, on every medium, that the US is under threat. Rhetoric to some, reality to others.
The Government of Putin is filled with outstanding citizens…
Seems like someone spent a little too much time studying the blade.
Is this the kid from Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields. He sure has aged well.
Rumor is Brooke Shields once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon.
Please get the reference…
Yep… South Park. Totally get that reference

He was ordered not to go within 1,000 feet of a polling place unless he is there to vote
Fuck that. Make him vote by mail.
Dunno…machetes are so commonplace in the tropical world that their roughly as common as having a pair of pliars or other common tool in your pocket when you go to the bank or vote
Duval County Democratic Party Chair Daniel Henry said in a statement the young men had been wielding flags bearing former President Donald Trump’s name during the incident
Oh, nvm. That facist flag he had is a much more dangerous weapon than a small machete.
