I don't disagree that this was Al Qaeda like attack on the capitol. However, this summer in the "chop zone" of downtown seattle, this was also the equivalent of cartels and terrorists taking over our domestic land.....they ARE terrorists that took over that area. People were shot, attacked, police were attacked. So NO I don't believe in " the righteousness of the cause" as you say. However, it wasn't a big deal then. In fact, politicians were calling it a "summer of love" and a block party as fires burned and people were getting shot.

No radio hosts threatened then. No media removed from the internet.
