Mister Buck on convenience, and ramping up
"It took firefighters two hours to put out the flames. By that time the office where the fire had started had burned down to the studs, and the central hall and several botany labs were damaged. Damages were estimated at $2.5 million."
I like your definition of inconvenience - to me burning down a research lab is FAR from inconvenient...
This is almost incoherent, but what you seem to be trying to say is that if it's really expensive and it requires a lot of time and attention by firefighters, then it must be terrorism.
Technically your definition also includes the WTC attacks, so I suppose you could argue that it's more than 0% useful. That still doesn't cut it though. Try again.
Oh, wait, you did:
Add to that that some enviromental activists have ramped up the violence and injured people when mere vandalism fails - and this amounts to terrorism.
"Injured people..." you should meet the other guy here with the weasel words. You'd get along great. Which people are you talking about? What kind of injuries? I don't know about you, but where I live hurting someone to make them stop doing something that they're in the middle of doing doesn't make you a terrorist.
In fact, it might mean you were a cop.
