House voting on domestic terrorism bill after Buffalo attack

Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen visits the scene of Saturday's shooting at a supermarket, in Buffalo, N.Y., Wednesday, May 18, 2022. – The House moved toward swift passage Wednesday of legislation that would devote more federal resources to preventing domestic terrorism in response to the racist mass shooting in Buffalo, New York.

Under current law, the three federal agencies already work to investigate, prevent and prosecute acts of domestic terrorism. But the bill would require each agency to open offices specifically dedicated to those tasks and create an interagency task force to combat the infiltration of white supremacy in the military.The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would cost about $105 million over five years, with most of the money going toward hiring staff.

Republican lawmakers assert that the Justice Department abused its power to conduct more domestic surveillance when Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo in October aimed at combating threats against school officials nationwide. They labeled the memo as targeting concerned parents.GOP lawmakers also say the bill doesn’t place enough emphasis on combatting domestic terrorism committed by groups on the far left.

Funny, how the black guy running down whites was not terrorism or a hate crime. Since they only care about 13 percent maybe they should be the only ones to pay taxes.

Bet the republicans vote against it.

Yea, throw money at it. That always works

Yeah, because the legislation that was already enacted worked so well😏 In the words of Sigourney Weaver, “Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?”
