“This is nothing unusual”
A Reuters report says:
Right-wing extremists in the United States are gaining new recruits by exploiting fears about the economy and the election of the first black U.S. president, the Department of Homeland Security warned in a report to law enforcement officials.
The April 7 report, which Reuters and other news media obtained on Tuesday, said such fears were driving a resurgence in “recruitment and radicalization activity” by white supremacist groups, antigovernment extremists and militia movements. It did not identify any by name…
…A similar assessment of left-wing radicals completed in January was distributed to federal, state and local police agencies at that time.
“These assessments are done all the time, this is nothing unusual,” Kuban said.
Prepare accordingly.
