Of course, they’re still missing the point
The ISIS-inspired attack in New Orleans underscores how extremism online and political divisions at home have created “a perfect storm” for radicalization in America, experts say, with law enforcement struggling to track an increasingly fractured threat.
Finding and accessing extremist communities online has never been easier, the threat has never been higher, and the ideology of those carrying out attacks has never been more splintered, according to the experts.
“What the FBI and law enforcement in general are dealing with right now is a threat landscape that is both diverse and complicated,” said Seamus Hughes, a senior researcher and policy associate with the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center at the University of Nebraska Omaha. “That makes things a little harder for law enforcement.”
“We have a level of polarization in the U.S. that’s an important factor,” he said. “The online environment has algorithms that are set up to make you angry. And all that is playing into a perfect storm of factors that are leading to an increase in radicalization.”
What they really mean by polarization is you big old meanie Conservatives, even as they note, sort of, who’s doing this
According to the federal government, the main terror threat to the U.S. now is lone actors inspired by extremism ideology. Those ideologies range widely. The majority of attackers are on the far right, as in the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting. But sometimes, as in the New Orleans attack, the driving ideology is radical Islamism. Occasionally, it’s far-left or anti-Trump, as in the 2017 attack on Republican members of Congress and staffers at a baseball practice outside Washington and the apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida last year, or at other times a mix of ideologies, what FBI Director Christopher Wray has called “salad bar extremism.”
See?
Add another one to this list. The one who stabbed 4 females and 3 others in Massachusetts. Also Trans. And Obama supporter.
Looks like we have an epidemic, it’s not a gun epidemic. It’s one where people are injected with hormones that enrage them and drive them to acts of mass… pic.twitter.com/21IRu9GDT8

And the two who tried to kill Trump weren’t exactly on the right, now, were they? The idea of the article is, shockingly, an attempt to protect the Religion of Peace, claiming that 364 attacks came from white supremacists and 137 came from “anti-government” (weird we almost never hear about them), but, only 125 came from Islamists. Except for all those who were protesting Israel and Jews and attacking them. Oh, and just 47 from left wing. This is all about protecting the Islamic radicals, who, surprise, who be happy to blow up NBC buildings and do not care what political persuasion one is if they are Americans and Jews.
“We’re seeing more and more people sort of pick and choose their own ideology to suit their own grievances,” Horgan said. “They look to find a reason to make sense of what they have already decided they want to do.”
You mean like people who do not understand basic biology and are gender deranged? Much further down, though, we learn
After several years of reduced activity in the U.S., 2024 saw a rise in Islamist terror attacks and foiled plots, according to the Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Extremism, which tracks extremist attacks and confirmed plots around the country.
That shift had the center’s vice president, Oren Segal, worried even before the New Orleans attack, he said. “It was alarming to us that after subsiding for so many years, there were indications that more and more people who subscribe to this ideology were willing to try to engage in this activity.”
“Part of this may be in response to groups abroad regrouping, part of it may be to the Israel and Palestinian conflict,” he said. “There were many signs that this type of activity was increasing.”
This could have anything to do with the Biden-Harris admin letting in tons of people of whom we have no idea who they are. We do know that lots are from the Middle East and Muslim extremist nations. All added to the Islamic extremists already in the nation and preaching jihad. Perhaps news outlets like NBC News should see the reality, rather than attempting to protect jihadis.
I have a family member who is an avowed communist. He spent 20 years in the military with a secret clearance. I am amazed America still exists TBH.
We have had a few mild discussions bordering on the edges of what really is in his heart. The other day we got deep and dirty into politics.
To make a long story short, he asked me who I listen to for my news. I named my list. He told me that is not real news. He then named his, which was far-leftist whack jobs. I mean, deep in the weeds, whack jobs.
So yeah. He is radicalized and I am just highly opinionated. A big difference. I have no desire to blow anything up or harm anyone for their beliefs. He, on the other hand, says he can’t wait for the downfall of the USA and that he will move to AFRICA when it happens.
this is a guy who gets a military pension and 90 percent VA disability, mostly from being traumatized by his EX-wife because this guy is a pansy for as big and strong as he is, not for fighting in a war zone but for fighting with his ex-wife.
He then shagged a job at Microsoft and combined, he makes almost 200k per year, and yet the whole of WHITE Society of America is focused on HIM and keeping him DOWN. He drives a Volvo and a Tesla and has a HUMMER of olden days….The really big one and his house is a ginormous mansion.
He would be the poster boy for ECHO CHAMBER; if you look up the term, you will see his face above the title.
I have repeatedly said that the internet is the 666 or the Anti-Christ, which will cause worldwide rebellion. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is putting satellites in orbit so that tribesmen in Africa can have the internet, too. But alas, Zuckerberg intended to do the same thing, so Musk Just beat him to the punch because he owns his own Rocket Ship company.
ONLINE will be the fall of mankind….mark my words. One only needs look at the comments section of ANY online website to see the hateful rhetoric that goes on there. Hell I watch online gamers playing games and their comments section is filled with hate and vitriol because the OP is not playing the game the way they think it should be played. These people need a life not faster internet speeds.
Trannies and muzzies are THE REAL threat!! Only armed patriots stand between America and anarchy! Sometimes, patriots have to murder Black and Hispanic commie shoppers in Wal-Marts and Shop-n-Saves to protect the nation!
Oath Keeper Jessica Marie Watkins is transgender and was part of Trump’s violent mob who tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Incels, white supremacists, anti-government extremists, QANONers and militias are still around. And violent. It has become simple to organize, enrage, communicate via social media platforms.
Mr Teach, like King-to-be Donnie, blame ‘open borders’ for attracting terrorists through Mexico!! Perhaps Teach or the King can offer a few examples of those terrorists.
Rimjob with his incoherent whining sees only what he wants to see.
(Maybe the forced confessions.)
Guess he overlooked the posted tranny killers.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!

Translation: Mr Watkins was forced to apologize for a lesser sentence, and he will be pardoned on January 20th. He does, of course, need mental help if his going trans wasn’t simply an attempt to get him housed in a women’s rather than men’s prison.
It will be interesting to see how many of the Capitol kerfufflers recant their apologies once they have been pardoned and are no longer under a probation which could send them to jail, or back to jail, for speaking their minds.
Sadly, there’s no way for them to get their time back, but their fines paid can be restored to them, as can, in the case of those convicted of felonies, their rights to keep and bear arms. Some of them are still in prison, and they’ll be released.
The Capitol kerfuffle was nothing more than a drunken fraternity party that got out of hand. The War of Northern Aggression, on the other hand, left a million people dead, yet neither Jefferson Davis, nor Robert E Lee, nor any Confederate soldier or official at all was ever convicted of anything. President Andrew Johnson issued a blanket pardon on Christmas Day, 1868, but that was 3½ years after the surrender at Appomattox Court House, so there had been plenty of time to charge and try them prior to the pardon.
Mr Dana is being silly.
President Andrew Johnson is the second worst president in history. Soon to be 3rd worst.
The “Open Border” between Texas and Louisiana is responsible for the terroriist attack in New Orleans!
Shouldn’t Texas be forced to keep its Islamic terrorists in Texas??
The same with the right-wing Cybertruck exploder. He likely crossed the “Open Borders” of CO–>UT, UT–> AZ, AZ–>NV!!
Rimjob’s tauts are bordering on insanity. Just can’t get over losing a free and fair election.
Maybe the Sheriff there in Affton, MO should make a wellness check.
At least take away all of his guns before he goes full libtard terrorist.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!

The Pissant is all talk. Please call the county police here and tell them all you know, ya big pussy.
Yup. Fatboy definitely needs a wellness check.
