How does a country that spends billions running down alleged terrorists overseas allow a well known home grown criminal and terrorist to reek so much havoc in said country?
Lock him the fuck up! Enough!

Now I know how Hitler rose to power. Humans/primates are self destructive.
I'll never understand why those with "money" pay the least while the rest of us foot the bill!
We need serious accountability for those who have broken laws and serious accountability for their enablers!

(52,236 posts)Terrorism overseas is bad for our billionaires. It disrupts supply chains, it puts overseas investments at risk, etc.
The government is happy to spend trillions of taxpayer money to protect the private wealth and income streams of a few billionaires.
In contrast, a school shooting barely affects billionaire wealth or business. Neither does random murders of minorities. Even a mass murder in a place of business doesn't really affect billionaires if it's a local nightclub or something similar. The richest person involved might not even be a millionaire.

(24,292 posts)They don't want chaos. They didn't become billionaires under a fascist dictator, or a president who rules by martial law. They became billionaires in the country just as it is. Corrupt, but not chaotic.

(6,831 posts)It requires a single-minded purpose driver personality with a laser-like focus to get that rich. I suspect that many are like Trump, pretty much unaware of their macro environment and may only know their own government transactionally.
Mr.Bill
(24,292 posts)they got rich because they are smarter and work harder than anyone else. I've known enough very rich people to see this. They give no credit to people that helped them, being in the right place at the right time, or just plain luck.
They just don't want to have to do it in a world that is exploding around them.

They were perfectly OK with monitoring Malcolm X, and Martin Luther king
But for some reason all these racist white groups seem to operate out in the open and no one's showing up to stop them
If they keep going after FBI agents, and one of the FBI agents gets killed it will be interesting to see how they react and respond to these white racist groups after that
