Have you ever been evicted for tax issues? My understanding is that the police are the ones armed to the teeth. And the police are not the IRS.

No, but numerous customers of mine have. Your understanding is incorrect. Local LEOs may assist, but such actions are undertaken with the "authority" of, and accompanied by, an agent of the IRS-CID.

if you don't pay your auto registration, eventually an armed police officer will pull you over and your car will be impounded. Does this make the DMV a legitimate military target?

Potentially. The military and moral viability of a target must be examined on a case-by-case basis.

I thought you said it was intent that matters. My mistake.

Again, turn off your filters, -then- read. Intent (including the known, acknowledged potential viability of one's desired result) is what matters
in determining whether a given act of violence was Terrorism, or simple Criminal Assholery. The reactions of people unconnected to and removed from the attack or event itself are irrelevant.

Look at what you wrote. The subtext is so obvious a blind person could see it.
Give me an example of a single person not associated with any organization who fulfills your very specific definition of terrorism if I misread what you meant.

I already did; Timothy McVeigh. If you believe the official version (a version propagated by an intently hostile adversary, at that), Mr. Mcveigh acted with (at most) a small group of conspirators to carry out an act of murderous violence which was perceived as potentially having the desired results. Another classic, perhaps -the- classic, is the Unibomber, aka Theodore Kaczynski. Other potential examples would be the Manson Family (and arguably Mr. Manson himself) and the "Helter Skelter" murders which were intended to ignite a "race war" and usher in Manson's utopia. Likewise Bufurd Furrow and the recently convicted anti-abortion terrorist Scott Roeder.

I've been to several Tea party protests and I have photographic evidence to prove it. How many have you been to? How many people have you talked to at actual Tea Party protests?
|
At which you saw, photographed, and remembered those things which you wished to see, photograph, and remember. Your responses to this very thread bear out your inability to separate "that which you wish to see" from "that which is being, or has been." I see no reason to further respond to a dishonest question which exists only to validate your irrational prejudices. You will obviously discount whatever answer is given, so why should one be forthcoming?
