United States Extremist Crime Database (ECDB)

The United States Extremist Crime Database (ECDB) on its face isn’t alarming. I’m not even sure if this database is official or operational but people tracking crime isn’t new, nor is suspect. You should note that this database tracks non-violent “far-right”crime as well.

What I do find alarming, albeit par for the course, is the keywords under which this database article is searchable:

Keywords
Al Qaeda related crimes,
database construction,
domestic terrorism,
extremist crime,
far-right crime,
political violence
The investigator of this University of Maryland project (http://www.start.umd.edu/start/research/projects/project.asp?id=43) is Steven Chermak (http://www.start.umd.edu/start/research/investigators/investigator.asp?id=47).

This is how these people think: if you have to fight to maintain your liberties then you’re a criminal. They know the Constitution is being shredded, and they’re prepared to track the “extremist” response. Apparently, only the “far-right” is capable of extremism worth being tracked.

It’s just amazing that 1) leftist crime isn’t tracked in the same database, whether ideologically-motivated or not; and 2) Al-Qaeda attacks are grouped in with non-violent crimes committed by the “far-right”. Well, who’s surprised?


TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Government; Politics

Yep, they consider us a hate site, and the feeling is reciprocated.
