Durbin Introduces Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) ^ | 11.16.17 | U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL)

Posted on 11/21/2017 4:37:03 PM PST by mdittmar

WASHINGTON—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. The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act would enhance the federal government’s 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 2016—more than any other domestic extremist movement.

Re: “white supremacist extremism poses a persistent threat of lethal violence, and white supremacists were responsible for 49 homicides in 26 attacks from 2000 to 2016—more than any other domestic extremist movement.”

I’d be curious as to what is defined as “white supremacist”. Also, weren’t 3000 people killed September 11th - wasn’t THAT domestic terrorism? Yes, the perps where foreign nationals but it was committed on our own soil.

Thanks mdittmar.
to address the growing threat of white supremacist groups and other violent domestic extremists
It's grown from zero to, what, two? Well, unless we count the Demagogic Party members, which I suspect we'll have to do when they start their next civil war.

WOW - is he ever on the ball! That will do the job all right. Make domestic terrorism against the law and it will work as good as all the gun control laws he supports and proposes! Good going, Dick! >>no pun<<

Here's the Joint Intelligence Bulletin Durbin is basing this claim on. The diagram summing up the stat is vague about what incidents are being alleged and what sources are being used. When I dug up a detailed breakdown on this type of stat a few months ago, I found a lot of fudging going on to downplay the number of Islamist attacks. The stat is also based on ignoring incidents such as Orlando, Mandalay Bay, the Dallas Black Lives Matter rally sniper attack on police, etc.

Come, now, FRiend. It’s so easy to see ‘why’: Turbin Dick only cares ‘bout the *WHITES*, not the NBP, La Raza, or NON-white groups.

I mean, he’s not chomping at the bit to disband those racist groups within the ‘hallowed halls’ of Congress (Cong. Black Causus\etc.), now, is he?
