As the FBI scrambles to investigate domestic terrorism, questions are being raised as to whether the bureau is doing enough to identify and stop murderous plots by home-grown fanatics with no ties to foreign terrorist organizations.

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray assured Congress last month that his agents were aggressively combating domestic terror threats from a broad array of extremist groups.But the bureau is now scrambling to investigate domestic terrorism on two fronts — a mass shooting in Gilroy, Calif.

Overall, FBI agents have arrested more suspects in domestic terrorism investigations in the last three years than in probes with an international nexus — 355 people versus 310. The FBI did not provide a breakdown of charges lodged against the suspects, or the status of their cases. “If they keep to themselves, how do you uncover that?” asked Joseph Persichini Jr., a former top FBI agent. “Most of these recent gunmen, if not all of them, are very independent.”

Justice Department rules govern the conduct of investigations that might involve free speech rights. Agents can’t launch an inquiry into a white supremacist for spewing racist bile — the suspect must first commit a crime, such as plotting an attack, officials said.

So you’re saying that the trump doj has been focusing on domestic terrorism? Kind of weird for someone who is, according to your newspaper their leader.. 🤔 .. trump2020

Now do antifa...

Start with hate speech on college campuses. Look at the blocking of free speech when ppl have different political views especially conservative ones.

😳

AKA, Trump says, don't piss off my base!

Thank you for telling us.

Its easy, Indicted criminals with federal immunity and protection can get away with it, as long as they make a deal with the state or an agency, they can terrorize anyone!!!

Why don’t you just say extremism? It’s on the far left too you know. El Segundo Times letting their bias flag fly.

They also struggle with left wing terrorism.

This was Antifa and a CIA MK Ultra. How easily fooled are the sheeple.

The second murder was a copycat.

Because it's pretty much a leftist Straw Man?

There is no left-wing violence in the US because when a left-winger commits terrorism, the media just marks him/her on the right-wing list. Like the Dayton shooter.

They don't do anything about that military wing of the Democrat party, that Domestic Terrorist Organization Antifa either. Antifa suppresses free speech, burns cities, murders and maims people, dresses up in cosplay hiding their identities and Deep State democrat FBI does little.

pretend like they are Muslims, they know how to police them just fine.

Good times ahead.

take away this woman's food stamps.

Antifa?

Far right,lol. Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore full of far right?

Yet we spend $700 BILLION EVERY YEAR on a mercenary military fighting political and corporate battles. What we need more focus on homegrown WhiteSupremacists who make our own country less safe.

What about left wing terrorism? Seems the media glosses over that

So liberal democrats

Rock Quarry: That number is equivalent to the SAGcoup terror night-shift on the 800 block of Three Pines Road in Josephine County Oregon. There are another, approximately 10,000 terror soldiers on night shift in Josephine county Oregon every night, killing Americans.

These type of headlines and reporting equal what’s wrong with this Country. MediaBias Misleading

You suck at supervising my ' people ' and they won't feel friendly if I don't shoot the bitch before it hit's someone... so? Just saying relative scenario here. 1 supreme domination, no on in side is going to save you~ 01-11-9 LOL... ◙ last provided sh00†...

'Right-wing' terrorism? The majority of mass shootings (domestic terrorism) were done by Left-wing nut-jobs. This is another reason why the Times is fake news.

The media and elite don't like White people questioning their racial displacement & are now moving to brand anyone they don't like as a white supremacist 'terrorist'. Having a dissident political opinion in America is not illegal. Our constitutional rights are under attack.

FBI needs to invest money on watching all Americans not just Black or Brown people. If this continues this country will be on the unsafe travel locations. People are canceling flights because a few Americans died in a resort, look how many have died because of American Terrorism

I’m sure the 26 mass shootings so far in Chicago are all right wingers. Since it’s MAGA country after all.

Rather complicated. There is an huge list of foreign organizations (almost entirely Islamic) calling for attacks in the US. Has anyone identified a 'right-wing,' and/or 'white supremacist group actually calling for mass shootings, or any other major acts of violence?

If domestic violence is good for gun sales I fail to see how the outcome of any investigation will not be tainted and in the interest of the NRA? Yes really, they’re that powerful. StopGunViolence

That’s a lot of words to use to avoid saying “white supremacist domestic terrorists”

Reality Check | Most right wing people just want to eat dinner with their families. Leftist are the ones that want to storm the streets and attack people for having conservative values.

Si se detiene la abusiva invasion de inmigrantes ilegales indocumentados, Es casi 100% seguro que se detienen las masacres.

What about the Dayton Shooter who was far left?

They’re struggling because there’s a shortage of actual white supremacists - stop falling for this fabricated bullshit peeps
