Durbin is re-introducing the Domestic Terrorism Act - Truthhurts Posted: Jan 10th, 2021 - 5:45 pm
Get ready for this bill to come to the floor with what happened on the 6th. it will probably pass with flying colors. No one in Congress has learned a single thing. They're still spewing the hate towards anyone who supports Trump so be careful everyone because if it does pass, everyone who speaks out about anyone in the government will probably wind up on "the list." Just a little bit of the bill:
(1) White supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States.
(2) On February 22, 2019, a Trump Administration United States Department of Justice official wrote in a New York Times op-ed that “white supremacy and far-right extremism are among the greatest domestic-security threats facing the United States. Regrettably, over the past 25 years, law enforcement, at both the Federal and State levels, has been slow to respond. … Killings committed by individuals and groups associated with far-right extremist groups have risen significantly.”.
(3) An April 2017 Government Accountability Office report on the significant, lethal threat posed by domestic violent extremists explained that “[s]ince September 12, 2001, the number of fatalities caused by domestic violent extremists has ranged from 1 to 49 in a given year.”
Then he gives some examples of alleged and allegedly white supremacits and/or far right wing terrorists. My question is why he didn't give any examples of the attacks and killing of cops? Isn't that considered domestic terrorism?
