What Makes a Terrorist a Terrorist?

[Grindie]

If you were caught with a bomb in your house.

What charges would you recieve.

You would be charged under a terrorism act.

Whether you were Asian, Indian, African, White, or a flaming chimpanzee.

Ah, but that doesn't always happen, prejudice is something that defines that

Wars are different Yes. Wars are unfortunately Legal.
If you went and dropped a bomb its not legal.

only because if someone declares war on your country you have no choice.
If someone was threatening you and you smacked them one and your going by your definition that could be terrorism too. So that means basically a LOT of peoples actions are an act of terrorism?

[Hecktix]

its still an act of terror. Even though they have a good reason.
And Yes Kassie, Alot of peoples actions are acts of terror. If You plan to cause destruction, you are planning to cause terror

A man was found in possession of several chemicals used to make a bomb. He was a white, protestant and pretty much a loner who'd dropped off out University despite a top knowledge of Chemistry. He had used these chemicals to make bombs but he was not charged under any terrorism acts.

Undertaker. Animal Rights is terrorism as they are terrorising people who work on Animals into stopping. I wasn't talking about personal differences in a work place.

Exactly you can't be charged with terrorism if they can't prove you were going to use it to create widespread terrorism

Ah see, prejudice, just what affects the youth of today

[Hecktix]

if you set a bomb off, more than one person is going to get hurt.

For Example:

If you planted a bomb through a scientists letterbox, yep the scientist would die, SO WOULD HIS FAMILY and neighbours etc would suffer burns, and debris would hurt people within a large radius

And I love you for that comment too.

Hecktix, this guy had set 4 bombs off and injured no-one. It was purely for his twisted amusement.

Surely if your caught with chemicals to make a bomb you would be in trouble.
Or, wait are the chemicals in there specifically used to make bombs or not?
