Sen. Schumer to Schedule Vote on Domestic Terrorism Bill in Wake of Buffalo Shooting
newsmax ^ | May18 | By Solange Reyner

Posted on 05/18/2022 2:48:28 PM PDT by RandFan

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., will schedule a vote next week on legislation aimed at curbing domestic terrorism following last week's mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, that left 10 people dead, reports The Hill.

"I announced to our caucus at lunch that we are going to file cloture on the domestic terrorism bill next week. And we hope our Republican colleagues will understand how important this is given what's going on in the country with replacement theory, with so much bigoted, bigoted voices on all of our news media, and we hope they'll join us," Schumer said Wednesday.

"But we will have a vote next week on cloture next week on this bill," he added.

The bill, H.R. 350, would create dedicated domestic terrorism offices in the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and the FBI.

"The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act is what Congress can do this week to try to prevent future Buffalo shootings — to prevent future California shootings, future El Paso shootings, future Charleston shootings, future Pittsburgh shootings, future Wisconsin shootings," said Rep. Brad Schneider, who introduced the measure in 2017. "We need to ensure that federal law enforcement has the resources they need to best preemptively identify and thwart extremist violence wherever the threat appears."

Never let a crisis go to waste!

(And if you don’t have the right crisis, manufacture one!)

Look up “The 10 stages of genocide” by Dr. Gregory Stanton; we are are in various shadings of stages IV, V, and VI which are:

dehumanization: people are equated with diseases, animals and vermin

organization: government creates special groups to enforce the policies (BLM and antifa anyone?)

polarization: the government creates propaganda to turn people against targeted groups.

So stop being so bigoted, stop trying to find excuses to censor and surveil people. The answer to free speech that you find offensive is more free speech, nitwit (Chucky, not Randfan).

Any Republican who votes for this should be ostracized.

Did I miss something or is terrorism legal?

I think Washington touched on this in his farewell address too. Scummer is a POS lefty and should be in jail after his threats to the SC.

I called both TX senators to say what I wrote in my first post, and they should vote NO!

Why didn’t Chuckie say a word after the last four Mass shootings? Oh I forgot it was blacks murdering whites or Asians. Only white men can be “domestic
terrorists.”

Hmmm...

how was this huge bill already prepared and ready to be filed days after a mass shooting?

How’d they know in advance?
