These guys are definitely breaking some laws. But terrorists? I fail to see how.

Possession of an unregistered destructive device is a felony 10 years in prison. Throwing rocks at first responders shows intent to do harm. Possession plus intent equals domestic terrorist charges.

As mentioned, they found explosive devices. I don't know if that alone would do it as perhaps it's just fire crackers or some other shit to be used in demonstration. We'll know if/when this goes to trial.
