Why was Rev. Brown not arrested for terrorism charges? Not only did he make a direct threat, but he attempted to coerce people in the community into following through with his violent acts.

The United States defines terrorism as: "Domestic terrorism refers to activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any state; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States." [18 U.S.C. ¤ 2331(5)]

I would also like to thank the Spiritual Leadership Coalition and other members of the black community for standing up against the New Black Panther Party. We all know that violence solves nothing, just shows who has the biggest guns! When there is injustice in the community, we have learned from Martin Luther King that non-violence is better, although it is slower.
