White supremacists have murdered 73 since Charlottesville rally
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9/8/19 | Marcy Oster

White supremacists have committed at least 73 murders since the far-right rally two summers ago in Charlottesville, Virginia.

That comes from a report released Thursday by the Anti-Defamation League that says 39 of the killings were “clearly motivated by hateful, racist ideology.”

The violence of the Unite the Right rally has led to an increase in white supremacist activity, according to the report, which is titled “Two Years Ago, They Marched in Charlottesville. Where Are They Now?”

“The violence on the streets of Charlottesville has kindled two major tracks of white supremacist activity,” the ADL said. “The first is the rampant dissemination of propaganda designed to promote their views and attract attention. The other, more troubling track is a broader series of violent attacks in the two years since Unite the Right.”

Among those attacks were the shootings at a Parkland high school, the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the Poway Chabad and Saturday’s attack at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.

According to the report, the recent attacks are part of a four-year resurgence in white supremacist activity and activism driven in large part by the rise of the “alt right.”

The Unite the Right rally in August 2017, which left one counterprotester dead, drew far-right extremists from at least 39 states and presented approximately 50 different extreme-right movements, groups and entities, according to the report.

More than a dozen Unite the Right attendees have been convicted and sentenced for crimes related to violence committed during the rally, most notably James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio, who was sentenced to two life sentences plus 419 years for deliberately driving his car into a crowd of protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens more.

Uh, Leo Frank may very well have been innocent and was brutally lynched. Certainly the state of Georgia thinks so. Just because the ADL is corrupt like most liberal organizations today doesn’t mean it didn’t do the right thing in the early part of the 20th century.

“The author is really being told off in the comments section of that newspaper. Some people really do get it!”

I read them. It’s certainly not the NYT is it.

“White Supremacist” is just a canard to oppress conservative speech and religion.

Which is the core craving of every Democrat.

The El Paso shooter is alleged to be the shooter but they definitely know he is a White Supremacist?

Oh, really? Funny the state should disagree with YOU and pardon him long after his death.

This is why I am skeptical of every statistic thrown around about gun violence. The most skepticism is saved for Christopher Wray. I’d love to see the breakdown of the numbers he quoted about white supremacy terrorism in he recent testimony. All these numbers are cooked.

The story is based on a lengthy article by the ADL which is available here. The article discusses many of the things that have happened to the participants in the Charlottesville protests.

While most of the people they discuss have extreme opinions, and some are involved in violent activities, and I despise their political positions and beliefs, the ADL authors seem to relish the negative things that have happened to those they, and we oppose. For example, the list the bad things that have happened to the protestors includes doxing them, causing them to lose their jobs, orders preventing them from traveling to certain areas, and long prison sentences.

The prison sentences suggest that the full force of the state has been brought to bear against the individuals based on, at least in part, their political views. For example, one person convicted of discharging a weapon at a protest was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and the person who drove him away from the event was sentenced to 5 years in prison. How many young men who shoot into crowds of people in inner city areas ever serve any time in jail for doing so?

The ADL article notes that:

Also sentenced to substantial time in prison: three of four men found guilty of “malicious wounding” for their roles in the parking deck assault of an African American man during Unite the Right. Daniel Patrick Borden of Ohio was sentenced to three years and 10 months, Jacob Scott Goodwin of Arkansas received an eight-year sentence, and Alex Michael Ramos of Georgia received six years. A fourth man, Tyler Watkins Davis, is scheduled for sentencing later this month (August 27)
Compare those sentences to the probation given to the Antifa member who smashed open a protestor's head with a bike lock.

The ADL apparently operates its own intelligence gathering and analysis operation. They state "The Center on Extremism has identified 330 of the estimated 600 who participated in the event."

Doing so, and advocating for and applauding adverse outcomes of all sorts for people whose beliefs they oppose, seems to me to be a step too far in our society. It is certainly possible to speak out against a particular set of ideas, and to reject them wholeheartedly. But how would the ADL feel about an organized effort by people with views different from theirs if they did the same thing in return?

Would the ADL be comfortable, if for example a pro-2nd amendment group built a database of 2nd amendment opponents by identifying them from pictures at protests, revealed their identity, and then sought to have them fired from their jobs, banned for certain locations, or punished more severely by the government? I doubt it. More likely they would consider it an outrageous attack against democracy and our freedom.

I have no time for the far fight, but I have even less time for leftists who are ready to do anything to destroy their opponents.

The article later says clearly 39 of the killings. So which is it, 39 or 73?

The FBI is corrupt to the core. They are not to be trusted with anything they say or do.

The ADL is nothing more than the Jewish version of the SPLC. Both are dedicated purveyors of dishonest left-wing activism, primarily of the smear variety, and both should either be ignored or treated with the utmost contempt at all times.

According to statistics compiled by the CDC, the number one killer of black men ages 25 and younger is another black person. I say this as an American who happens to be black, we’re essentially killing ourselves. White supremacists are nowhere near being the main problem.
