Yes, she is a terrorist. Sheesh!
Here's the bottom line: ELF and its minions can't get what they want by democratic means, so they use violence (arson) to scare people into doing what they want. Whether or not they actually harm people is irrelevant; it's terrorism.
To quote Ed Morrissey:
When its advocates turn to violence to intimidate people into adopting their positions, then they have crossed the line from free speech to terrorism, and it strikes at the heart of democracy. The government of a free people have the duty to ensure that law-of-the-jungle tactics get stopped and carry huge consequences to the people who use them, in order to deter others from adopting them.
Briana Waters stopped being an 'activist' when she traded in picket lines for arson conspiracies, and became precisely the kind of criminal for which these laws were written. If she didn't want to do 20 years in prison, she should have stuck with the picket signs.
