Is Briana Waters a terrorist?
In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.

  • Cosmic Mojo on aiming

    sure it was aimed at innocent people.

    Also, you seem to have trouble with the distinction between "was aimed at" and "indirectly affected."

    I don't know what country you live in, but in mine, causing inconvenience is not (yet) a crime.

    You seem to be one of those people who regards any crime, without distinction, as constituting a moral trespass which is equivalent in all cases and justifies any and all degrees of punishment.

    If so, you might consider a rewarding career as a jailer in a gulag. If you hurry you might be able to get a job here in the US while we're still hiring.
