After an exchange with witnesses about the rising violent rhetoric on social media platforms and the need to do something about technology companies that permit such harmful posts, Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., presciently noted,"We are getting a big red flag waving, and we are not able to act on that information in a timely fashion.
It again reflects the glaring lack of understanding, even among our lawmakers, that there is still no law that allows anyone to be charged with "domestic terrorism."questioned law enforcement officials about what subcommittee members worried were disparate approaches to hate crimes compared to terrorism. That hearing didn't go too well.pressed
McGarrity, the FBI's top counterterrorism official, about what she called"discrepancies" between the FBI's handling of violent white supremacists and its handling of violent Muslim extremists. "There are holes, and there are gaps here," she said as she pointed out that Muslim perpetrators have been charged as"domestic terrorists," while white supremacists have avoided such charges. As their back-and-forth escalated, McGarrity tried to caution her that"some of the definitions we're using, I think we're talking past each other.
But when White Supremacists like Dylann Roof shot up a black church, or attack the Tree of Life Synagogue, the FBI declined to charge them w/ Domestic Terrorism.
FrankFigliuzzi1 THANK YOU!
FrankFigliuzzi1 Platforms like this one are the domestic terrorists...
FrankFigliuzzi1 Here is the rub. I believe some GOP Senator are up to their necks involved with domestic terrorism. If it were not so why would so many involved in the invasion on 6th say the ex-president and Cruz wants us here. There must be a full 911 commission like setup to investigate.
FrankFigliuzzi1 Tools of war? No thanks. That time is done.
FrankFigliuzzi1 Question should be, when will the law enforcers given the proper tools to prevent the violent demonstrations resulting in rioting, burning and looting?
FrankFigliuzzi1 The problem with that....they will use it on innocent people vs when they actually need to use them! Damned if you do & damned if you don’t!
FrankFigliuzzi1 law enforcement is as much of the problem as it is the solution. their ranks are compromised. a great many officers have a genuine conflict of interest about which side they’re actually on.
FrankFigliuzzi1 You go to ear with it the way Bush went to war with Terrorism around the world......
FrankFigliuzzi1 Democrats love domestic terrorists ! You keep cheering on BLM and antifa ! There is a whole year of proof, certainly a summer domestic terror !
FrankFigliuzzi1 In addition to national security and law enforcement agencies, Congress has to give similar tools to Treasury, SEC, and other economic agencies to investigate and contain new types of money laundering and funding of nefarious activities through stocks and crypto 'currencies'.
FrankFigliuzzi1 So, in other words... allow Biden to militarize the police to a greater extent than he and Clinton did in the early 90s which has led to all the BLM protests we have now about abuse of police power? Someone's been putting cocaine in their own corn flakes.
FrankFigliuzzi1 I support making changes required to deal with right wing seditionists, but I really don't want to increase the chance for abuse of the law by over-zealous, authoritarian police or federal agents.
FrankFigliuzzi1 I agree. The reason we are in this situation is because we have media and leaders allowed to spread lies and dissent and to cause fear and hatred to be fueled until the rage comes out in violence against non-whites and the opposing government organizations.
FrankFigliuzzi1 INDEED!!!
FrankFigliuzzi1 More good news please(((
FrankFigliuzzi1 How about investigating those Flynn idiots at the Pentagon? ASAP!!
FrankFigliuzzi1 I'm sorta feeling that everything that went wrong in the last 4 years is trump's fault. lol. I'll clear my head as I reorient myself to what's normal!
FrankFigliuzzi1 What do you mean 'we', Kemo Sabe? The Fig knows perfectly well that republican party leaders alone are responsible for turning a blind eye to white-right extremism in America, & his question is disingenuous for it. Better he named names- including democrats that have played ball
FrankFigliuzzi1 Because for some in Congress the terrorists the FBI had warned them about are also some of their voter base. They worked hard to deflect/ignore the warnings, even as the threat showed up violently in the Capitol.
FrankFigliuzzi1 Frank, I think it's OK to publicly state reasons for this. There were enough people in political power who could see they would benefit from it. Without bringing this to light, it allows these people to shrink off into the shadows & plan another approach in the future.
FrankFigliuzzi1 Because of traitors inside..Republicans
FrankFigliuzzi1 Because the terrorists were in power. Not anymore.
