Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators ā€œterroristsā€ and demanding they be ā€œtreated harshly.ā€

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like ā€œGaza is not 4 sale.ā€

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gazaā€™s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    Member when nobody wanted to call the terrorists who engaged in an actual terror attack on the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transition of power on Jan 6 ā€œterroristsā€ because they were worried that it was inflammatory language?

      Iā€™m surprised the people who vandalized his golf course havenā€™t been accused of associating with ISIS.

      That is, after all, the real accusation. Illegally doing Brown Person Crimes.

      I remember. And Iā€™ve been calling them terrorists since day one, since the term is appropriate. Also, Iā€™ve been pointing out, when the right cries about the term ā€œinsurrectionistā€, that that term is being far too nice.

        They were upset about the term ā€œrioters,ā€ and kept calling them ā€œvisitorsā€ and ā€œtourists.ā€

          That, too, but they got especially butthurt over the term ā€œinsurrectionistsā€ when The Media used it. I would not be surprised if donvict gets around to ā€œinvestigatingā€ the Very Nasty Liberal Media for using such terminology, TBH.

          In my view, calling them insurrectionists was downplaying it. And calling them ā€œriotersā€ - fuck that noise. Riots are not planned.
