A white supremacist told an undercover FBI agent posing as a member of the Aryan Nations that he wanted to commit a "fucking big scale” attack “in the spirit of Dylann Roof.” He was just sentenced to less than three years in federal prison. huffingtonpost.com/entry/white-su…
Here are two sentences announced by federal prosecutors today:

33 months for a white supremacist who wanted to kill Jews and Muslims.

66 months for a guy who sold some pot.

Meanwhile, a white supremacist charged in connection with an attack on an Amtrak train has reached a plea deal with the feds. We should learn the details tomorrow. huffingtonpost.com/entry/white-su…
“He’s no Dylan Roof. He was raised up with blacks, they are his friends, he’s not no prejudice boy.”

"Benjie really is a good boy, I know he’s done things he shouldn’t do, he’s just a big ole’ teddy bear.”

"He just said that that boy [Roof] was brave, and he made headlines as a white boy, but he said he [Roof] was wrong to go in the church and shoot up like he did, and he said, he [Roof] stood up for the white people.” - McDowell’s mother

DOJ evidently hasn’t completely killed "pattern or practice” civil rights cases. This one began in Dec. 2016. huffp.st/2TaGAES

A woman who died in jail last week had been in custody since July on a $300 bond for a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge. ksat.com/news/female-in…
Her family didn’t know she was there. It would’ve cost between $30-$100 to get her out.

A New Year's Thread on Extremism Past

2. supremacy & its various segments, the anti-government "patriot" movement and its segments, and some of the extreme right single issue movements. As general context for all of this, it is worth pointing out that 1994-1995 saw a great resurgence of the extreme right in the US,
3. both for white supremacists and anti-government extremists alike.

White supremacists in 1999 were still riding the surge of the mid-1990s. The late 1990s was a time of great activity for neo-Nazis, perhaps at their peak before the crash of the mid-2000s. The National

It’s funny, when you see the pattern of politically motivated bombings today, we are supposed to sort of pretend that one political party hasn’t monopolized violence and terrorism in the US for the last two decades. (THREAD)
We get the immediate “both sides”ism coming not only from the right, but the “reasonable centrists”, including from folks I genuinely respect, like @artkellermanmd

But this is not a case of “both sides”. Sure, we are polarized and more divided than in living memory. And that’s not great, and the polarization is mutual. But ONLY ONE SIDE IS ROUTINELY KILLING PEOPLE.

What are the odds that the son of an #FBI agent, who happened to be a student at #Parkland, is interviewed twice within 6 mos by the news as a criminal witness? Oh and he's anti-gun, anti-Trump.... serious fuckery is afoot!

#ParklandSchoolShooting #2A #ParklandStudents #Trump
Clearly a crisis actor being coached by the Media and #DeepState on how to profit politically from tragedy and trash the President. Really pathetic. You can't trust anyone being put on TV by the #FakeNewsMedia.
