None of the groups you mention travel in gangs beating up citizens walking alone. None of the above groups vandalize stores and commit street violence... tell me why you made the comparison?
These groups hire the beating up/roughing up/intimidating of individuals, even in individuals’ own houses.
These groups vandalize companies, individuals’ taxation and other accounts.
These groups hire street violence and ignore crimes there, such as lack of permits or violence against police. These groups direct the fourth estate to stiff-arm and celebrate street violence, winking at whatever comes...even in violence such as the Arab spring.
They use asymmetrical warfare and lawfare to achieve their objectives. 0bama drops political crisis after crisis against the bulwark of US Constitutional law, finance system, and mores.
The silencing of critics is but one way to eliminate opposition. Do we really think there is no blood on their hands?
I do.
They have point people, colors, foot soldiers, regular tactics. Their weaponry is simply not carried ‘on’ their bodies.
