Angry in the Great White North

We've already seen how the Mohawk Warriors use children to help fight their battles in the Caledonia land dispute:

[OPP spokesperson Dennis] Harwood said Monday's altercation was sparked by minor incidents that occurred Sunday, beginning when Six Nations children cut the middle out of a Canada flag.

"They were taunting at the Caledonia residents, then the Caledonia residents put up some signs," said Harwood.

Harwood doesn't know what the signs said, but he said they were offensive to the aboriginals, who tore them down.

Here's the offensive poster that was thrown down:

Now I think the Natives have a point. Using the label "terrorist" is pretty serious business. It is not to be done lightly. The Natives are fighting for their land. They are not out to terrorize the community, right?

Haldimand County Mayor Marie Trainer, who was present when the rocks were being thrown, said the altercation erupted after aboriginals sparked a fire.

But Trainer said residents were already angry as aboriginals had thrown rocks earlier at the home of an 89-year-old man whose house borders the occupied land.

"They started throwing rocks at his home, and of course that got the neighbours going who wanted to protect him and started throwing rocks back," she told CP.

I'm not sure which is worse -- that these warriors targeted an old man, or that they couldn't even drum up the courage to go after him in person, but threw rocks at his house from a safe distance away.

As pathetic as their actions were, they do count as terrifying. Deliberately so. And that means these people are terrorists.

But what worries me is that the more hot-headed of the Mohawk Warriors, frustrated that their use of children and the targeting of octogenarians is earning them nothing but ridicule and disdain, might decide that if they're going to be called terrorists anyway, they might as well start doing some serious terrorizing. It makes this all the more disturbing:

Yup, that's a Palestinian flag being flown by the protesters immediately below the Mohawk Warrior flag.
