"DHS draft document: White supremacists are greatest terror threat"

None of the drafts POLITICO reviewed referred to a threat from Antifa, the loose cohort of militant left-leaning agitators who senior Trump administration officials have described as domestic terrorists. Two of the drafts refer to extremists trying to exploit the “social grievances” driving lawful protests.
This draft document seems to be consistent with earlier intelligence reports from DHS, the FBI, and other law enforcement sources: that the most significant terror-related threat facing the US today comes from violent extremists who are motivated by white supremacy and other far-right ideological causes
Yeah, I saw this last week. All of the leftist idiots on Facebook were crowing about this.
However, there's a big flaw with this article. This is about
terror threats, not mob violence.
The article is basically saying that lone wolf far right extremists are more likely to commit acts of terror on US soil than their left-wing counterparts. Think of a Tim McVeigh type.
However, that report is NOT analyzing the overall threat of violence from each faction. It's simply focusing on terror. A mob burning buildings down, beating people up, and shooting people in the streets does NOT qualify as terrorism, under this definition.
It's all misleading semantics. It's the same reason that right-wing extremists pose a greater terror risk than black gang members in Chicago, but black gang members are a FAR greater danger to the day-to-day citizen than right-wing terrorists.
You leftists really love your misleading "studies" you can post in order to look smart, huh? Too bad people can read.
