Along with any and all extremist groups on the right or left that use violence to promote or advance their political cause. Protests and civil disobedience are not violent acts. Even having a few scuffles with a few cops isn't a bad thing. Burning, looting, shooting, etc. ALL terrorism.

Arrest, convict and imprison them. Their actions were the severe minority that day. Anyone saying different is a blithering idiot.
