There are already laws against property destruction but terrorisms laws
are more draconian.


I am such a simple fool. The charge of terrorism is being applied to two
ladies who destroyed nothing but who protested the destruction of four
apartment complexes of low-income housing units. Residents say the brick
buildings are perfectly habitable, and accuse the city, the Housing
Authority of New Orleans (HANO), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
of a program of class warfare and racially motivated gentrification.

The four complexes, if demolished, would eliminate more than 4,500
apartment units in the hurricane-ravaged city so desperately in need of
affordable low-income housing.

Welcome to the new and improved America :-(

Unnecessary wars, domestic spying, the poor thrown into the streets,
price gouging on fuel and food. Good night America.
