I have to wonder; what about people without a blatant organized group to pin as "terrorists"?
Do we pin a larger, less organized group as "terrorists"?

That's about when you start pinning the individuals, of course. If they conspire to commit terrorism (as was actually the case for Charlottesville) (or do commit terrorism) smack 'em with terrorist charges and fuck them up with the fullest extent of the law possible.

I think you mean if you have read a dictionary to read up on what terrorism is, which obviously seen here, there is a lacking in the lexicon.

Seems this has been a problem that has been dragging on for a long time. It was reflected in popular culture in a televised sitcom on US network TV on September 17, 1990 - (Video is just 2 min. 56 secs. long) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1gK4HxXAo8

Article 121, Soviet Criminal Code. Criminalizes homosexuality.

Castro, "[W]e would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true Revolutionary, a true Communist militant. A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant Communist must be."

I can also dig up similar stuff for Jews, Capitalists, and I dunno, probably litterers if I look hard.


All of those could also apply to Britain in the contemporary time period.

For one thing, in the US "[a] person is privileged to use such force as reasonably appears necessary to defend him or herself against an apparent threat of unlawful and immediate violence from another."

So no, defence of another is not self-defence.

Hate to burst ya bubble, but....
Sourcehttps://www.justia.com/criminal/defenses/self-defense/
For both self-defense and defense of others, the threat faced must have been imminent such that it put the criminal defendant, or the one he or she was defending, in fear of immediate harm. This can be accomplished through words that imply a threat of force or an actual show of force. However, mere offensive language is not enough to support a claim for self-defense.

Additionally, the defense of self-defense or defense of others is available only while the threat is ongoing. After the threat has ended, the use of force is no longer appropriate. This would be considered an act of retaliation, as opposed to self-defense.


Also, as early as 1972 in Washington State v. Wanrow, the use of force is sometimes justified as self defense after the immediate threat is ended if the victim has reason to believe that the threat will resume.

Still want to claim that the alt-right group was there to be 100% peaceful?

Ok, gonna ignore the improvised flame thrower attack against the old man? It looks like, racist expletive aside, the man could rightly claim he was defending the life of the person assaulted with Flame
Or is lighting a propellant into a modified flame thrower a part of a wholesome, peaceful protest?
I may disagree wholeheartedly with the expletive, but I do not disagree with defending someone from an attack if needed. Good Samaritan and all that, if someone was trying to torch me with a modified flame thrower, I hope anyone would try to stop them on my behalf.

I don't see any old man on the left hand sight. Old mate was protecting the old man that has been conveniently cut out of shot on the right. Correct position tbh.

Seems fair to do when famines are called genocide when they happen under any country with Socialism :^)

I don't know who said it, mate; they obviously didn't use the word, 'genocide', correctly. There's also the fact that the famines in India were a result of both government policy and natural causes. I'm not entirely sure about Socialism and it's part to play in any famine.
