Never mind the dozens of examples of far-right violence in recent years.

The largest annual gathering of FBI agents FBI National Academy Associates will meet this weekend in Quebec City. A year-and-half ago it was the site of a deadly mass shooting, when six Muslim worshipers were killed at a local mosque by Alexandre Bissonnette. The subsequent investigation found that Bissonnette was obsessed with far-right causes, regularly visiting the Twitter account of Richard Spencer, David Duke and Alex Jones, to name but a few.
Youd think then, that the conference would be a fitting location for the FBI to talk about the growing dangers associated with far-right violence. But it seems the opposite is true.
According to VICE News, the headline speaker for this years conference is Dale Yeager, the CEO of Seraph Inc., a private consulting firm for law enforcement, who will use his keynote speech to talk about Radical Left-Wing Gangs in America, which focuses on the dangers that groups like antifa pose with their violent actions against civilians and police agencies in the U.S. and Canada.
Yeager, who has reportedly spent more than 40 years warning about the dangers of left-wing extremism, does not believe there has been any uptick in white supremacist violence, and that the far-left, which he described as despis[ing] Western civilization and liberal democracy, is squarely to blame for the growing political violence in the U.S.

Do you suppose Yeager was inspired by Pooty Poot and Dirty Donny*s efforts to divide and weaken America with bullshit and FAKE news?

(13,101 posts)Perhaps Trump and his republican cohorts can a pass some type of law
that forbids any view points that don't mirror theirs.
They can't lock us all up.
They will have to come up with a different solution.
I am sure they have one in the works.
White Supremacy rules in Trump's America.
I am so sick of Trump and his administration of evil fucking liars.

I think we, the gang of voters should just show them the door on Nov

(19,060 posts)It's nausea inducing that a monster like this is allowed to speak to our FBI. His words will certainly effect some FBI personnel into committing crimes against liberals.

Ice isn't really law enforcement, it's not hard to pick up tan people and quiz them. I rather we start trying to make these unsolved clearance rates on homicides go down.
