Domestic terrorism doesn't include ANTIFA but it does include soccer moms in NoVA that don't want schools pushing homosexual porn on their kids.
Also, criticism of CRT is terror.
Yeah, this is mOdERaTe

Re: Moderate (slightly left of center) AG Merrick Garland Orders FBI to Combat ‘Threats of Violence’ Against Public Scho
I'm curious and would like to have a discussion based on the Garland memo vs. the initial reactions.
The memo did not address taking action on the basis of policy views - Garland even tried to make that point clear from my reading of it. It wants to take action against potential threats and violence.
What am I missing or what other factors are at play to be considered? I'm genuinely interested based on the heated reactions I've seen.

It's just one side against the tyranny so it's easy for everyone else to figure out who they're trying to intimidate. And of course you pussies define people rejecting your dumb and evil policies as vIoLeNcE. You call the 1/6 protest an InSurRecTiOn, everything you say is hyperbole to justify your intolerance of rejecting your authority. Too bad, we're doubling down.nolanvt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:49 pm I'm curious and would like to have a discussion based on the Garland memo vs. the initial reactions.

Re: Moderate (slightly left of center) AG Merrick Garland Orders FBI to Combat ‘Threats of Violence’ Against Public Scho
Let's take a step back for a moment. If there are violent threats being made towards school administration officials, is it not the FBI's responsibility to take those threats seriously? My concern is that people may be emotionally overreacting to the memo believing that people are being targeted for policy viewpoints and not actual threats/potential violence.awesome guy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:58 pmIt's just one side against the tyranny so it's easy for everyone else to figure out who they're trying to intimidate.

Re: Moderate (slightly left of center) AG Merrick Garland Orders FBI to Combat ‘Threats of Violence’ Against Public Scho
Are you speaking woke or English? You seem to be missing that "violence" is another word that you goons use incorrectly. And no, the FBI isn't the police force for local school boards. What's obviously happened is no threats of real violence, as the local police investigate, and so you bootlickers are getting the feds involved to make sure that the woke version of violence is found.nolanvt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 1:12 pmLet's take a step back for a moment.

There's layers to this. The letter starts off saying there's been a "spike". Has there been? I haven't seen anything to support that notion. I have, however, seen a "spike" in parents attending meetings about CRT and inappropriate materials. What the AG is calling violence, is parental participation.
The letter is clearly a shot across the bow; a warning to anyone planning to protest their local school boards. "FBI is watching you."
Another layer is this admin beating the drum that "white supremacy" is the greatest terror threat facing our nation, while at the same time labeling mere criticism of CRT as "violence". They've broadened the definition of violence and terror to include simple public participation in protest of far-left policy. These people (dems) can't tolerate "light". This is an attempt to put out that light of reason. To dissuade parental participation.
This is weaponizing the intel community against "opposition" to crazy ideas. Ideas we told you years ago were a "slippery slope" and that some say doesn't exist. Well, not only does it exist, it is being expanded upon at the point of the FBI's spear.
The only teacher I can think of that was harassed was the communist guy who bragged online about "recruiting kids" to marxism and flew communist flags in his room. THAT is who the FBI wants to side with here? Public activism got the guy fired. We can't be having any of that!
Same old dem pattern. Just like Obama sent the IRS after conservatives, now Merrick Garland is sending the FBI after CRT critics.
A final layer is the signalling. They're going to try to Jan6 conservative citizen involvement.

Now, these people can define “harassment and intimidation” any way they see fit.

Guess the only remaining question is whether "soccer moms" or "white supremacists" are the greatest threat to "national security". The Federal Bureau of Intimidation will soon give us the answer……

Re: Moderate (slightly left of center) AG Merrick Garland Orders FBI to Combat ‘Threats of Violence’ Against Public Scho
Agree there was no specific policy aluded to, just a generic statement about actions against potential threats and violence. So who determines what is a threat? Is it just the teachers union side of the equation, or do parents have the right to consider inauthentic and hateful teachings to be legitimate threats. The reality is, coming from the DOJ, we know this is a policy to empower the teachers union to legally battle against complaining parents. No more, no less.nolanvt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:49 pm I'm curious and would like to have a discussion based on the Garland memo vs. the initial reactions.
The memo did not address taking action on the basis of policy views - Garland even tried to make that point clear from my reading of it. It wants to take action against potential threats and violence.
What am I missing or what other factors are at play to be considered? I'm genuinely interested based on the heated reactions I've seen.

Yours is a "have you stopped beating your wife?" type of question.
Say you want to watch Gunsmoke. Your wife wants to watch The Bachelor. You disagree. What if the FBI labeled that as "domestic violence"?
That's pretty much what's happening here.
Don't be such a drama queen, Maude. Any illegality should be handled by local law enforcement officials. Not by the FBI, you putz. But hey, I'll mark you down as someone who is okay with the CONTINUED weaponization of Federal law enforcement agencies for political purposes.
If someone breaks the law, then local or state law enforcement are responsible for prosecuting. Biden and his legal puppet, Garland, are sticking their noses where it does not belong.
This is 100% politics and sets a dangerous precedent IMO. Don't assume this decision won't be used against people you may sympathize with in the future. Think about that possibility and fashion your opinions accordingly.
