Following the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government took an aggressive stance toward preventing and punishing acts of Islamist-inspired violence inside U.S. borders, defining it as"international terrorism." The FBI was given a wide range of tools and resources to investigate and prosecute individuals who provide material support or resources to one of the 68 designated international terrorist groups, including the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda.
According to the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School, there were 84 indictments related to ISIS or Al Qaeda in 2015. The number of comparable indictments for 2018 was 15, a significant drop. Mary McCord, former acting assistant attorney general for national security at the Justice Department, is advocating for a change in the law that would put domestic terrorism on the same"moral plane" as international terrorism and direct more resources toward preventing the domestically based terror threat.
Former FBI agent David Gomez, who has worked both domestic and international terrorism cases, calls himself"a pragmatist and a practitioner," and says some domestic terrorism cases have been handled by state prosecutors as murder, drug or fraud cases because it was the best way to get the longest sentence.
This post by NBC illustrate that the PRESS fuels hatred in America.
All domestic terrorist on the left and the right need to be eliminated.
U can thank the Democrap party for spreading the hate
How? HOW? HOW!!! You're not prepared!! How the hell are you not prepared ?!?! White supremacists terrorist have been around sense 1776! They've been here FOREVER! Get your crap together!
Is Antifa included in this discussion?
If y'all scared of white people say so but don't put us in groups and call us names, we're growing tired of it.
Yellow journalism. More people are killed by MS-13 & in black on black crime than these wack jobs who call themselves white nationalists. You are promoting a divisive America because of philosophical idiots. All murder is evil & not relegated to one group.
No kidding! Democrats are out of control.
EricPaulLeue Because in 2018 GOP defunded the programs set up to develop those tools—as the splcenter and other watchdogs have repeatedly noted. Follow Hatewatch for other good resources, but here’s a quick summary about the Trump policy change that’s salient:
Thank you for calling it what it is. DomesticTerrorism We can not fix what we don’t acknowledge.
Because it’s homegrown white terrorists. If they were minority’s the government would act without haste. But because these terrorists may have 6 degrees of separation from those in power-they won’t
We have a President provoking hate & young angry white nationalists in the streets carrying out mass killings for what they believe are his marching orders. Congress should be in DC doing something about it not on extended recess. SpeakerPelosi senatemajldr
Don't act clueless. The DOJ disassembled their domestic terrorism units on Trump's orders. Now Trump pushes hatred for black and brown people and the terrorists are responding to his orders. THIS IS BY DESIGN,
That's bullshit they just choose to not do anything about it because they're white. If they were Black Supremacist, or Latino Supremacists they would've been disbanded long ago
This is correct, we aren’t equipped to address this domestically....due to the 1st amendment and due process. These sickos can hide behind this, while picking us off at the local Walmart 😡
first we have to acknowledge that the terrorist threats within our own borders vastly outweigh those on an international level. DomesticTerrorism is a more significant threat to our wellbeing than immigrants, and that is where the discussion must lead.
Why can't POTUS realDonaldTrump say WhiteSupremacistTerrorism ?
All they have to do is follow the splcenter They’ve been talking about white supremacist terrorism forever.
We could start by singling out those who have been given chemical imbalances with psychotropics and ritalin. Most people who are on psychotropic medications should be locked away in a nut house instead of being free to disrupt society. We all know it.
USA has spent trillions 💰💰💰 avenging those who died on 9/11. When will we launch a war on WhiteSupremacistTerrorism WhiteNationalistTerrorism Assaultweaponsban?
Ofcourse they don't, it's much more easier to blow up someone that doesn't look like you.
Currently the library’s are still free and open in this country, take a minute and go read a book on history you find some of the same language is being used now as it was back then.
It should have been UPPED a long time ago-seeing as how when we have these mass shootings they're usually White! that's the only excuse that they can give why they haven't upped their game ALREADY--why would they be treated any differently from any other terrorist?
Because the administration transferred money from the fund that was allocated to combat domestic (white) terrorism and sent it to a fund to combat immigrant (brown) terrorism. Because the president is a racist. And his administration actively incites these people to violence.
Yeah, carpet bombing and then invading Texas because some Paleo-Conservative Terrorist committed an atrocity doesnt really represent a rational response. Nor does calling a Paleo-Conservative terrorist a White Supremacist make any sense either. It is just lazy journalism.
The U.S is so obsessed with external problems that internally it’s falling apart. Slowly but surely the reign is definitely slipping out of our hands.
WhiteSupremacistTerrorism TrumpTerrorism
How many black, brown skin people are also ANTIFA members... Just asking. Where do you put ANTIFA on the racial terrorist scale.
Wow, biased reporting. Conflating 'right wing' and 'far right' is intellectually dishonest. Continuously mentioning white supremacists, while neglecting to mention the acts of BLM, such as the Dallas police murders, etc. exhibits an unacceptable bias for a supposed journalist.
Trump is the face of this shit and they want remove his ass. In 2019 it should be ZERO TOLERANCE FOR a RACIST in the White House!
Odd. USA is the victim of domestic terror daily. Why did the domestic terror funding drop under Trump. Domestic terrorist must have brown noses!?!?! DomesticTerrorist
Well, let's hear your answers , , , , , , ,
TanjaMcConnor Good luck with investigating white Christians.
Let’s use our collective efforts and save the planet from dying
Facts:
You don’t say I wonder why 🤔
It appears that law enforcement has those tools when it comes to BLACK AND BROWN suspects! TERRORISM IN america in 2019! Obviously, we haven’t come far enough!
no doubt they 'need more powers.' they always 'need more powers.'
Clueless
Facial recognition technology can make everything transparent.
