54. I know it doesn't have to physically be an act carried out against a government official

But the definition involves an attempt at changing government policy or makeup or whatnot ... through violence or threats thereof.

I'm just not sure these assholes actions ... meet that criteria.

I think it would be a tough slog for prosecutors to charge anything like terrorism, put it like that.

This is SUPER OFFENSIVE, HORRIBLE SHIT, to be very clear

But ultimately I think it will be concluded by prosecutors ... that all they can nail them on is trespassing.
