terrorism = the new buzz word for every situation.
-------------------------------------
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- Three white men were arrested and accused of taunting Indians and firing shotguns at signs and buildings during an hourlong spree stemming from a conflict over scarce water supplies.

Witnesses said the men drove through the town of Chiloquin in a pickup on Dec. 1, yelling, "Sucker lovers!" -- a reference to fish considered sacred by the Klamath Tribes. Chiloquin, a town of about 800, is home to the offices of the Klamath Tribes.

"To be doing this, to me, is really an act of terrorism," Sheriff Tim Evinger said. "I consider it to be terrorizing an entire community."

Earlier this year, the government sharply reduced the flow of irrigation water to more than 1,000 farms to help protect suckers and salmon. Farmers grew angry as their fields dried up.

Well first of all if they had tried this in my home town they would have been scalped in 10 minutes.

But back to the point, a single incident like this is misuse of the term terrorism. But then three guys with shotguns are not too much of a terror when everybody in town owns an AR like they should. [:D]

Now if this is some little hick town with a law against NAs owning firearms then things might be different. Who knows...
