Sometimes I laugh until I can't stop screaming.

Well I suppose their reasoning is that protesters are amassing a group of people to pressure another group or corporation or government into doing what they want.

The definition of terrorism includes words like fear etc, so I assume a group of people gathered together might make some people scared.

By that standard, I'm a terrorist because I weigh 120 kilos with a bald head and a fu-manchu mustache.

Problem is, our constitution specifically calls out the right to protest, in any size group, so long as the group is peacable.

But that's just a silly piece of hemp some hippies wrote on back 220 years ago. We keep it in the Smithsonian to keep the government from literally shitting on it.
