terrorists or justified?

I was wondering what your guy take on this was. A man becomes a victim of a unprovoked brutal attack after asking a group of people to get off land they were illegal trespassing on.

It turns out the attackers were a group of radical animal rights activists who mistakenly thought the man they attacked was part of hunt group that he had no involvement with.

I am shocked to see how many people appear to support the attack on this innocent bystander.

Whats your take? Are such attack justified or are these groups nothing more than terrorists?

For people who are against the hunting of animals they seem happy enough to wear camouflage patterns developed to hunt PEOPLE.

As far as they being terrorists, a terrorists is defined by someone attempting to instill fear into people, no? They come under that in my opinion.

3 sides to every story. One side, the other side, and the Daily Fail. Maybe someone should ask that question (terrorist or justified) to the foxes.

I am a bit confused but that reply. From what I understand it was not a fox hunt but rather they were "hunting" a fell runner who was pretending to be a fox. Though even if they were hunting foxes illegally is it not the police's job to bring them to justice not a paramilitary style mob. In this instance the mob appears to have even targeted the wrong person entirely. I don't really understand how so many people are supporting such attacks. If it was a Islamic group the press and forums would be screaming terrorists.

That does appear to be the logical answer but surprisingly it does appear many would disagree with you there.

Majority of these animal rights activists are hypocritical dim witted anarchists who just use this to lash out at the supposed 'class' system.
Totally agree with them being labelled as terrorists.

Regardless of the situation, there’s no need for violence.
