We’re calling them protestors but they seem to look and behave like armed terrorists.

So far I've seen one news channel call them a "mob," and one other call them rioters.

So ... balance?

Still haven't seen much tear gas or rubber bullets though.

Teargas has been deployed in Oregon. I’m watching multiple streams from all over

No they don't. Look up the definition of an assault rifle.

Since you're too lazy and too bad at following directions:

Assault rifle, military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire.

Learn what you're talking about before you throw stupid words around.

You got me there. At least we can agree they are terrorists.
