The FBI previously said the Nov. 20 shooting may have been at least partly inspired by violent, racist ideology based on evidence collected.

    It’s always the same. There is a vast web of right wing extremists all linked together but we continue to treat them like lone gunmen. They’re all linked. They’re all reading the same books, on the same message boards, going to the same gun shows, etc…

    Every year more and more lives are lost because we refuse to treat these people as the terrorists they are.

      There was this “edgy” magazine I used to read that ran a letters from prison section from rightwing guys caught by the FBI before they did it. What I noticed about them is they always seemed to get on the radar by attending a meeting. Always shocked me because what are the odds the FBI doesn’t routinely record and identify every single person showing up to those?

      A former coworker of mine went on a rant about how amazing the novel The Turner Diaries is, white early 20s guy. Scary stuff.

      He also once told me and another woman how women shouldn’t be in management positions because it goes to their head…

      Yeah, went up to two women and proceeded to rant about how women shouldn’t be allowed in positions of authority, expecting us to agree?
