Killings by American domestic extremists in 2019 were the worst in the nation in 24 years, according to a chilling new report released by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
Of the 32 killings by extremists in five separate attacks in 2019 the most lethal year for domestic extremist assaults since 1995 24 were committed by white supremacists, according to the report.
Gamification in which attackers seek to score a high kill count inspired some of the assaults in 2019, and will likely continue to be a factor in future attacks, the report noted.
There were 57 deaths linked to domestic extremists from 2017 through 2019, with 47 of them racially motivated, according to the report.
The greatest terrorism threat to the Homeland we face today is posed by lone offenders, often radicalized online, who look to attack soft targets with easily accessible weapons, the report noted. Many of these violent extremists are motivated and inspired by a mix of socio-political goals and personal grievances against their targets.

(12,278 posts)white supremist, right wingers, kkk, nazis, proud boys, and others that identify with them, yes it is scary and dangerous for POCs and people who have different ideology and it's a shame that this country has come to this conclusion.
I saw a poll on this site where CBS conducted a poll concerning the popularity of shithole but I keep in mind that those republicans are not the majority in the USA and actually a small faction of his insane cult. They are violent, angry, hateful conspiracy believers who are far from reality.
I'm not going to let them control my life.
