I also think they're keeping an eye on Trump and his minions.
Also, there's the fact that Trump has ignored Intelligence briefings and dissed the Intel Community. It would look like his incompetence caused it.
So an incident like may not happen.

(42,714 posts)Not if you actually know anything about Kristallnacht.
In fact, its unlikely that anything on the scale of the Tulsa race riot is likely to occur again.
That doesn't mean that there won't be racial and religious and ethnic violence. But not on the scale of a Kristallnacht or the Tulsa race riot.
