WASHINGTONU.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today introduced new legislation to address the growing threat of white supremacist groups and other violent domestic extremists. The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act would enhance the federal governments efforts to prevent domestic terrorism by requiring federal law enforcement agencies to regularly assess those threats and provide training and resources to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement in addressing these threats.
According to a May 2017 intelligence bulletin by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), white supremacist extremism poses a persistent threat of lethal violence, and white supremacists were responsible for 49 homicides in 26 attacks from 2000 to 2016more than any other domestic extremist movement.

Bottom line: Leftists fear the citizens of their own country. Why? Because they know the crap they do to the average person will eventually elicit a reaction.
Let's be honest here--the typical individual that identifies with the Leftist meme regards others as tools to be used, and has a deep seated fear that said tool will eventually do them in after multiple instances of abuse.

U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today introduced new legislation to address the growing threat of white supremacist groups and other violent domestic extremists. Who is he talking about? The Islamists, most of whom are white and all of whom have an overbearing desire to wipe out anyone not of their religion?
In a way, this is just an extension of Obamaism. There were a lot of warnings and scary talk about "right-wing domestic terrorists" but never any real description of who those terrorists might be. Meanwhile, Islamic terrorists grew more emboldened and violent every day.
Liberals will never address the issue of terrorism. They'll use the word to scapegoat the people they want to wipe out anyway, but they will never confront real terrorism. And so the problem just keeps growing.

Yeah the white supremacist gangs out there raping robbing and assaulting random black citizens without provocation is a yuge problem!
Consume excrement and expire already Durbinladen!

...the federal governments efforts to prevent domestic terrorism by requiring federal law enforcement agencies to regularly assess those threats and provide training and resources to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement... Did it ever occur to Durbin that maybe the "state, local, and tribal law enforcement" might be better positioned to "provide training and resources to assist... federal law enforcement agencies?"

2 or 3 white supremacist murders committed in a single year. Jihad murders or murders by psychopaths vastly outnumber anything done in recent years.
To: mdittmar
Dick Durbin would know first hand from past personal experience about white supremacist terrorists. Takes one to know one...

If we had a Madame President we would all be right to fear such a move by Durbin.
As it is, I just chuckle.

It is all in how these events are characterized. Several of the jihadist attacks were labeled as "workplace violence" and therefore, not accurately labeled.
This bill is pure b.s. and is more than a little racist.
To: mdittmar
Just the words “Democratic”, “Whip” and “Dick” are enough to describe the man and what he does to himself.
Not a pretty picture at all. Almost as bad as seeing Helen Thomas neked.

...the growing threat of white supremacist groups... Leftist scum are starting to worry that the American people are going to say, "Enough", and people like Durbin will find themselves facing "Citizens' Tribunals".
Fact is... White Leftists are the true White Supremacists.
And they are dangerous.
