Homeland has listed White Nationalism as a domestic terrorism threat, this is a big move in addressing the growing alt-right movement which has resulted in hundreds of death worldwide.
In the wake of the El Paso shooting and other white supremacist-motivated attacks, the Department of Homeland Security has added white supremacy to its list of domestic terrorism threats, marking the first time since the creation of the department post-9/11 that it has emphasized white nationalist domestic terrorism as a threat on par with that posed by foreign groups.
In a speech at the Brookings Institute on Friday, Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said that recent mass shootings had “galvanized the Department of Homeland Security to expand its counterterrorism mission focus beyond terrorists operating aboard, to include those radicalized to violence within our borders by violent extremists of any ideology.”
And? And there hasn’t been a large scale Islamist terror attack on America in nearly two decades. There have been far, far more instances of white supremacist motivated murders and attacks over that time.
Yet it only takes one and we know they plan for the big events.
In just two such events there were what, 63 killed and over a hundred wounded?
Those are pretty serious attacks particularly since the spurred the anti gun left to go nuts, launching another major push to ban scary black guns again.
Are you suggesting white supremacists aren’t smart enough to pull off something that takes a degree of sophistication because if so I might actually agree with you
