Oregon Terrorists

Sorry, I posted this in reply to Lewis, but it's a new thread.

If this is real, then any crime committed in the state of Oregon is likely
to be considered an act of terrorism. You can read the exact wording of the
bill here:

http://pub.das.state.or.us/LEG_BILLS/PDFs/SB742.pdf

In the list of crimes considered terrorist acts includes downloading mp3s,
mislabeling mp3s on kazaa [ie, "this sounds like Billy Joel, so I'll just
label it Billy Joel" is an act of terrorism]. Prostitution is also an act of
terrorism, so is selling Basil to someone and telling them it is Marijuana.

Ridiculous if true.

Yo. Read again. Terrorism is defined as part of a new act. An existing law on the books is modified to add terrorism to a list of crimes that are applicable under Section 19, chapter 666[funny] Oregon Laws 2001. They are not defining terrorism as all these crimes on the list.

Oregon (despite many "progressive" legal/legislative aspects) has been one of a handful of states to actively pursue, via manipulating existing laws, environmentalist groups involved in direct action. Using isolated actions of those claiming ELF affiliation, the Portland police and FBI have been monitoring "terrorist" organizations like the Oregon Natural Resources Council and others.
