From FBI link: In using the term Domestic Terrorism, DHS looks to the Homeland Security Act definition of terrorism, 6 U.S.C. 101(18), which is substantially similar but not identical to the title 18 definition. That provision defines terrorism as any activity that:

• Involves an act that:

  • Is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and

  • Is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States; and

• Appears to be intended:

  • To intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

  • To influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

  • To affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.

    Have you paid any attention to the political scene in the United States? There is no way that a billionaire could be convicted of any crime. In the rare event that they are charged, they can delay and obfuscate so that they die before any repercussions must be suffered.

    I don’t think that the truth of the two-tiered American justice system has ever been so clearly delineated.
