Mr.Bill
(24,282 posts)you have handed them credibility and status. The next thing you know we will be negotiating with them at the table.
I have watched over the decades how Law Enforcement made this mistake with street gangs. The mere recognition of them increased their power tenfold.

(2,525 posts)Didn't matter if you were in the gang or not. Be black, wear red, get arrested.
Guess it helps when the gang members are also police.
I'm tired of these f*ckers getting preferential treatment.

(99 posts)They can't possibly be 3% of the population as that would bee 9,000,000 people. And since there is only 90, maybe 900....
As for the oaf creepers, looking at pictures of them, they all would have failed basic, i.e. physical training, in the military or police academy. That is their only claim to being former military or police.
And when push comes to shove and a "civil war" broke out, most of this morons would be filling their BVDs and crying for mommy when the first shots were fired.

(5,477 posts)that "the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists" during the American Revolution. (Wikipedia)
I prefer to think of it as the actual percentage of brain cells that they may have active at any given time, including those necessary for autonomous functions like respiration and circulation.

(14,101 posts)Think of Antifa, try to prove a conspiracy there...no structure at all because no such "group" exists. On the other hand the right wing groups had meetings and were financed, and are vulnerable to criminal RICO or other conspiracy charges.

(58,785 posts)certainly wouldn't find their jobs easier by erasing facts about these groups, or legal definitions of different crimes, including what constitutes terrorism.
People here who want to just call them all terrorists just because it suits are free to, of course.
