we all know about right wing groups, even if they refuse to admit it, they support violence..

this is an excerpt from a long peice that is quite interesting about the why and how we have found a way to let it all slide..


https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/20/opinions/what-we-dont-get-about-far-right-violence-german/index.html

When white supremacists and far-right militia groups commit acts of violence in the United States, the Justice Department calls them domestic terrorists. Academic studies in 2012 and in 2017, respectively, show these groups have attacked and killed as many or more Americans than any other terrorist movements in recent years. Yet the FBI considers them a secondary threat to "homegrown violent extremists," by which it generally means Muslim Americans "inspired" by foreign terrorist organizations like ISIS and al Qaeda.
The truth is we don't know the full extent of the racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic and homophobic far-right violence in the US because the government's hate crime statistics are based upon voluntary information. In 2017, of the 16,149 police departments that participate in hate crime reporting, only 2,040 reported hate crimes.
Even without that data, there are indications of the problem's scope. Justice Department victim surveys conducted between 2004-2015 estimated there were approximately 250,000 hate crimes in the US each year. And yet the Justice Department prosecuted only 27 hate-crimes defendants in 2016. The Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan law and policy institute, published a report last month documenting the multitude of criminal statutes the Justice Department has available to investigate and prosecute far-right terrorism, but too often chooses not to as a matter of policy and practice.

free believer

A good indicator of this is what has been published about Ms. Cindy Hyde Smith, the candidate for senator of Mississippi. The first remark was concerning an invitation from a good friend to which Ms. Smith stated she would sit in the front row to watch a hanging. This woman is running for Senator of Mississippi. The first thought is a lynching??? When someone of her position is so casual about watching such an illegal act it tells one of how accepted right-wing violence is !

These far right terrorist groups are growing there recruiting x military personnel at some point the bubble of hate will burst. They have a president in the White House Of Which right wingers deny he is a racist. That makes no difference it’s what these far right terrorist groups believe and they believe Trump is a racist.
Trump now is ramping up racism in this country and what scares me is when 38% of this country buys into his garbage.
At some point and you are correct they were inspired by ISIS or al-Qaeda but Trump is inspiring these people. And at some point there going to act upon there hate and racism.

I just think back about the pipe bombs and fortunately the man making them could not follow directions. But what if these bombs did go off. How many right wing extremist are now somewhere doing the same thing.

Trump runs the presidency thru fear and hate for all our government agencies and with manufactured crisis, 38% of this country honestly believes that the FBI, CIA, Justice Department, MSM are all corrupt. And all news is fake.

That Bubble eventually will burst if this justice department continues to ignore all domestic terrorist groups. Our constitution was built on freedom of expression but not to use the constitution as a tool to create violence.

When the words were spoken freedom of speech, was it intended to spread hate and violence.

Hypocritical Democrats are advocating for violence in United States

Thursday, June 28, 2018 2:52 PM
It is hypocritical that suddenly the leftist Democrats are discovering that our politics and culture are getting more violent. Like so much of what they say, it is just another tactic.

The Democrats don't really care, they just will do or say anything to recover power. It was the Democrats that repeatedly assaulted the Trump supporters during the 2016 election.

It's the Democrats since George H W Bush that have called every Republican presidential candidate a Nazi.

Even though the Democrats, with their anti-Semitism, their violent tactics and their willingness to call groups of people untermensch (non-person), are much closer to the Nazi policies. It's the fascist left that don black clothes and black masks and carry baseball bats to assault anyone who doesn't think like them. It is that same left that shouts down any ideas that are different than their own.

It was the last Democrat vice-president that said that Republicans would put blacks back in chains, but doesn't support the Republican policies that made black unemployment the smallest in decades.

It was that last Democrat president that enlisted the power of the government - the EPA, the IRS and the FBI, to defeat his political opponents. It worked in 2012, it didn't work in 2016.

It's the Democrats in Hollywood who build themselves up among their peers by using coarse language against the president and his administration. It was a Democrat that shot at Republicans while they were playing softball. It is the Democrats who after losing the last election came up with the colluding-with-Russia scheme to nullify the constitutionally-elected president.

It is the Democrats with the help of the left wing media that is willing to tell any lie to defeat the Republican president. It is the Democrats who are encouraging the harassment of the families of the Republican administration.

Yes, our culture is getting more violent. But violence, intimidation and outrage are tactics of the leftist Democrats.

As long as people vote for Democrats, they are voting to increase the violence.

During the election it was the left inciting violence and not the right.

This right wing white nationalist terror threat needs to be cut off at the knees. We can only hope the feds are going over sites like this for racist and threatening comments, threats of instigating civil war and similar nutter stuff following the url’s to the offenders and surveiling and eventually cracking down on the perpetrators. Once they get a picture of the groups they can isolate the ring leaders arrest them on traffic stops and then go through their property with warrants to find weapons and explosives. A one day nationwide series of raids on a dozen or so of these nutters would put fear into their fellow travelers and effectively drive them from the internet making it much more difficult to spread their hate and instigate violence. Instead of raiding business looking for undocumented workers supporting their families federal agents should be cracking down on the very dangerous right wing terror threat.
