A terrorist threat?

As long as any protest march or whatever is PEACEFUL, there is no threat unless they plan on killing...mind you last month there were protesters here in DC who shut down and disrupted portions of the city that day because they were protesting the war....they blocked traffic, disrupted the IRS...MY office (Dept of Vet Affairs) and so on....

But.....we didn't call them terrorists....so what are you playing at Jon?

I am getting at just what he said.
Did anyone in DC make that kind of statement?
If that was picked up as "chatter" by NSA, what would the response be?

And it was one day, not an on going matter of days and locations.
As I indicated in my list.
And the news has already indicated several attempts to incite, from within, the groups of protesters.

And when, not if, something does happen the cops hands are now tied up.
For anything they do, is going to be wrong per Rev Al.

Have seen it happen before.

FYI-People do wonder, and have for a long time, if Rev Al has people working both sides of the street when he does his protests.
Washington is not the only city known for it "secrets"/"whispers".

And as they will not have permits, just what are these "marches" going to be? Humm?
And comments/actions of this sort could be taken as threats/extortion.. Hummm?

I do think the same people who are outraged about this incident should be outraged about people killing cops. I'm sure many are, and hopefully they're just as vocal about that as they are about this. But I'm also sure that many aren't, and that is unfortunate.

But, I don't want to say that this isn't worthy of outrage because of possible hypocrisy. I'd much rather any such people raise their level of outrage about cop killings than lower their outrage about this.

But about what Al said, I found the comments a bit much. It is a tough line to draw, and maybe he also made it abundantly clear what type of action he's speaking of. But at first glance, those comments seem a bit open-ended for being so inflammatory, and though there may be nothing wrong with his intentions and sentiments, I suspect there are many people who respond to Sharpton's message and may not share his civility. Given his earlier remarks, which I found to be pretty composed, I'm surprised at his statements. Especially considering some of the other bad situations he's found himself in.

It's a really dumb statement to make. Especially if the protest goes bad. Sometimes all it takes is a few troublemakers to escalate a legal protest to a full scale riot.
