 No, because the report explicitly states that a subset of the Juggalo community meets the definition of gang, as they defined it in the report. It states that it is labeling only a small group of people who commit criminal activities as a gang, as they defined it in the report.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostThen you have an FBI report labeling individuals as a gang who do not fit the definition of a gang, in violation of the law.
 
 Except that's not what the report states, and it's explicitly stated that it is not labeling the people who are exercising their 1st amendment rights as a gang. Only the subset who meet the definition of gang, as defined by the report.Originally posted by Forever_frostIf they are labeled as a gang, according to a report by the FBI, whether that is the 'legal definition' or not, that is THE federal law enforcement agency saying individuals exercising their 1st amendment rights are a gang.
 
 The report has no legal standing because it's not using the term "gang" as legally defined.Originally posted by Forever_frostWhen a federal agency labels you as something (domestic terrorist, gang) it means that they aren't playing and are looking at reasons to bring the hammer down on you.
 
 Again, are law enforcement agencies using that report as justification for violating peoples rights? Yea. However, that is those law enforcement agencies abuses.Scientists do not coddle ideas. They crash test them. They run them into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour and then examine the pieces.
 
 If the idea is sound, the pieces will be that of the wall.

 Yet you just stated that their definition isn't the legal one, so the FBI is making up their own definitions?Originally posted by Maddhattter View PostNo, because the report explicitly states that a subset of the Juggalo community meets the definition of gang, as they defined it in the report. It states that it is labeling only a small group of people who commit criminal activities as a gang, as they defined it in the report.

 I went from making a logical discussion, to jumping on some wild tangent that had nothing to do with the discussion at hand, just like he did in the beginning. He bludgeoned me with non-topic shit not related to the discussion every post, so I decided to use it back on him. From the way he vapor-locked, it seems to have worked.Originally posted by racrguy View PostMan, Stevo. You know you're fucked when Frost is more reasonable than you are.
 
 His tactic is clever- spin the discussion with an array of tangents to divide the discussion, and then attempt to pick apart comments made on the tangents that he created. While everyone is trying to work though all of the unrelated bullshit that he created, it makes it harder to discuss the real topic at hand. It is a debate tactic.

 Dude, you didn't believe the number of gang members, and provided you a source, and you immediately went crazy spouting about how he needed to keep up, when that's exactly what he was doing. If anything, you are the one that needed to keep up because you're saying that the report is saying X when in fact it is saying Y.Originally posted by stevo View PostI went from making a logical discussion, to jumping on some wild tangent that had nothing to do with the discussion at hand,

 Vapor-locked? Hardly. You started going on and on about how you aren't an authoritative source on why you do things. He's merely waiting for you to return from the realm of incredulityFrom the way he vapor-locked, it seems to have worked.
 
 I am not convinced you know much about debate. You have failed to grasp what he's saying the entire time so you think he's going off on a tangentHis tactic is clever- spin the discussion with an array of tangents to divide the discussion, and then attempt to pick apart comments made on the tangents that he created.

 What do you think he is saying, and what is your counter argument? I am not as smart as he is so maybe I can word it in a manner that you can understand. Are you attempting to say that people cannot use their own definitions in reports even with an explanation, like you did in post #30? I really have no idea what your argument is, aside from you thinking maddhattter is "off-topic."
 
 Frost is being orders of magnitude more reasonable than you in this instance. He came in, asked a question, got an answer and moved on, whereas you kept beating the same drum after multiple explanations.
