Was there terrorism on 6 Jan?

But did they? Who fired the first shot?
Guerillas had attacked Red Coats many times before the official shot heard round the world.
A case could be made that the Colonists attacked the King by stealing his property.

The older I get, the more I agree with the old statement that "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."

It's as justifiable to me as the father of a daughter killing her rapist. That's the best way I can put it and the closest metaphor I can think of.
Is it lawful? No.
Is it justifiable? Yes.
The Casus Belli of widespread, government sponsored fraud IMO supports far worse actions than breaking into a building that you paid for and terrorizing the same people who sponsored the fraud.
I would call what the protestors did "restrained".

I think the Bible would disagree with you. Even if someone raped a father's daughter, that does not make him justified in killing him.
Would the father be a "terrorist" according to the Bible?

He would be a murderer
I think it does. Old Testament demanded the killing of the rapist.
If someone raped my wife, they would die an agonizing death.
No he wouldn't.
Read Deuteronomy again.

That does not give the license for vigilante justice. So yes, a Father going after the man, or a husband going after the man and killing him would be murder.

The only exception would be if he was trying to stop the crime while it was hapening.

Yes, that would be an altogether different scenario.
Yes it does. The entire context of Deut is justice handled by the family. The city of refuge proves that.

That was also laws handed to Israel, not to you and me.

Or would you rather follow all of the laws set forth in Deuteronomy?

That is not the way the law is written. It includes “threats” of violence and/or intimidation for political purposes.
The DOJ and FBI are using that vague language to justify surveillance of Parents speaking out.
peace to you

They are threatening to remove them via an election. No reasonable person sees that as intimidation or a violent threat.
