      Whoever wrote that headline probably thought they were being “fair” to call them “rioters”. I mean, insurrectionist is the compromise, but terrorist is far more appropriate.

      Terrorism: The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

      This is EXACTLY what these “protesters” were up to.
