Should Arizona classify violent cartels as terrorist groups?

Only if they actually are terrorist groups

Yes, and allow the use of military force on our own borders. They are essentially terrorist groups by virtue of how they operate.

Only if they have caused murder or widespread damages

for them to be terrorist they have to threaten us but they don't they could be a threat to their own state but they aren't terrorist something diffrent either way they should do something about them.

No, terrorism is not defined solely by violence. Violence exists as is in society. It should be treated as criminal violence and prosecuted as such.

It depends on whether those cartels are intentionally committing acts of violence to terrorize the populus because if so then yes but otherwise not.

yes, but also put them in their own category due to the fact that they are not really terrorizing Americans they are just bringing in illegal drugs

yes, but the cartel is something the country of Mexico should worry about. maybe there is some stuff we can help in order to decrease number of deaths but not get much involved.

Sure, but this should go for all states. Not just Arizona.

Yes, since they are a threat to not only American citizens but Mexican citizens as well.

yes, only if they do something bad enough to be a terrorist

If they are causing hysteria and threatening the US violently , yes,

I think it should depend on how far the cartel is going in the U.S. standards

Yes, as long as the Cartel's actions reflect that of a terrorist group.

It depends if they are acting within the US or in their own country because gangs like the crips or bloods arent considered terrorist groups just gangs.

Only if they do something in our country or states

Terrorist groups count as people who make threats to the public safety

No, if we classify cartels as terrorists, it empowers the federal government to take actions I do not support.

depends I guess, if they are performing terrorist actions by the definition of terrorism then yea, but like if they're just like druggies then no, you feel

Yes, if they disrupt society in Arizona negatively

I personally havent seen any action from them from where I live so I cannot give a stance on how much influence they truly have

No, why should a different label change the severity of the situation?

I feel like if they aren't terrorizing people in the United States and they are only doing drug trafficking then they really aren't counted as a terrorist group.

how violent

if they are terrorizing people

Don’t really care as it is not prevalent in cave creek

Yes, for those cartels which target civilians and politicians.

its a 50/50 because they do a lot of good as well as bad

not unless given ample reason

If the U.S has considered that groups or similar groups as a terrorist group, then yes. even more so if that gives us reason, i.e., targeting U.S. civilians

Only if they are targeting political figures, but still label them a violent and focus on shutting them down

No, that should not be their job, and it would be practically meaningless as it has no impact on the justice code.

violent cartels should be classified as terrorist because cartels are more dangerous then everyone thinks and kids go missing every day part of cartel.

Yes, I think cartels cause a lot of violence and harm, so classifying them as terrorist groups could help take stronger action against them and improve safety.

Yes. 100%, take them down with no mercy, they decapitate people.

Only when violence is involved.
