Terrorism fails to halt government action

Oregon Senate finishes whirlwind votes after Republicans stall session

The Oregon Legislature wrapped up what has been a whirlwind of a session Sunday, with Democrats ultimately delivering some of their biggest legislative priorities to the governor's desk hours before a midnight deadline.

Senate Majority Leader Ginny Burdick called it an incredibly "productive session," saying lawmakers were able to approve what had long been considered "holy grail items" for Democrats.

But it wasn't without controversy. The Senate got off to a rocky start Sunday morning and was delayed for over three hours after a faction of Democrats insisted that Republican Sen. Brian Boquist be barred from the chamber. Boquist drew criticism earlier this month after saying state police should "send bachelors and come heavily armed" if they try to return him to the Capitol during the walkout.

Terrorism?

Clickbait.

Terrorism?

Clickbait.

From a state senator threatening to murder police officers, to the militia threatening to take up arms to support the fleeing republican senators. Terrorism is a not so far fetched word for it.

Nevertheless, Oregon Democrats gave in to the fascists, showing them (and others who might try the same thing) that you can hole up with a "militia" of rednecks and threaten the state and nothing will be done to you.

Threatening to use violence against elected officials and police officers in order to procure a political goal is terrorism, although it's the kind of terrorism that some Republicans will remain silent over.

Are you denying the fact that a state senator threatened to murder police officers in order to achieve political goals?

if you respond he did not you will be lying. If he did terrorism is the correct word for it.

“Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

Well I suppose he could have looking for a date, heavily armed nudge, nudge! But no, he is clearly threatening to murder police officers in order to further his political aims.

Now if his name was Muhammad, The right would be screaming terrorism.

Well...sorry, folks! He wasn't arrested, and we all know that the one characteristic of terrorism is "was arrested". Guess he got us!

Do you think elected senators who threaten to murder police officers to further their political goals should be?

The definition of terrorism includes making illegal threats of violence to further political goals. In the US is it legal to threaten to murder police officers to further polices aims?

It appears that police in Oregon take public threats of violence seriously.

2 Gladstone students arrested for social media threat, police say - oregonlive.com

Eliot teen arrested for allegedly making threat against Marshwood High

There are more, but I didn’t know how many needed to be posted to make a point.

Terrorism?

Clickbait.

Apparently "terrorism" is another word that must be redefined to push a progressive agenda. I feel that his comment is no different than someone saying, "They will have to pry my guns from my cold dead hands."

This is a good point. If someone isn't arrested they didn't commit a crime.

Thankfully in Oregon your point is well-made. The law is always applied with perfect application at all times. That means that if someone isn't arrested they didn't commit a crime. It's one of the few things you can really count on in Oregon.
