Erepublik Unrelated Article

Hello fellow players of Erepublik! First of all, I want to mention that I am eUS citizen for about 4 years and member of Easy Company since than.

I am writing to you because I have an unanswered question to a situation that bothers me and I need your logical (unemotional) opinion to this problem.

The situation is the following:
1. Group A has an opinion.
2. Group A decides to make a gathering to make their opinion known and gets all the legal approvals to make this assembly.
3. Group B has a different opinion than Group A.
4. Group B makes an illegal assembly during Group A gathering and attacks Group A (with various weapons).
5. Police brakes the law and does not protect Group A from Group B.

QUESTIONS:
1. The individuals from Group B that attack Group A can be considered terrorists? Definition of terrorism according to wiki: "Terrorism, in its broadest sense, describes the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim."

2. If the majority of Group B use the violence to impose their will on Group A, disregarding the rights of Group A, can it be considered a terrorist group?

3. If the society containing both Group A and Group B backs up Group B and decides that the freedom to have a different opinion, the right to have an assembly and the freedom of speech does not represent it anymore, should the current rules governing this society be changed?

Please try not to relate this situation to any RL situation you may know!

Thank you for your time and your opinion/answers! (if it will come)

Kind regards,
Victor

Nazi prick

If either group uses violence to further their cause they are both wrong and they are both terrorists....

Reasonable thing to say...

I think everyone needs to stop depending on the government for protection. If that trend continues, everyone will be fighting over the right to have police protecting them.

The Mike Day 3,557, 10:18

the aim of the fighting in this case is not to create terror or fear but simply group B wants to beat up group A - I'd call them no more than bullies if you wanted me to call them anything

people should stop using the word terrorist/terrorism so lightly

Indeed the sense of the word "terrorism" is forced so that people can be controlled with fear but bullies is too light in this situation, in my opinion, because we talk about basic human rights and not about a childish argue.

The Mike Day 3,557, 15:58

You want the police to respect your human rights and protect you.
When someone goes and beats up somebody else just because they can, they are a bully.
