Home Grown Terrorism

"Federal investigators said Friday they stopped a domestic terrorism plot by a militia group that planned to detonate bombs at a Garden City apartment complex where a number of Somalis live. Three southwest Kansas men were arrested and charged in federal court with domestic terrorism, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said at a news conference in downtown Wichita. The three are suspected of conspiring to set off a bomb where about 120 people — including many Muslim immigrants from Somalia — live and worship, Beall said. An apartment at the complex also serves as a mosque, officials said."

Question: What to do? Federal officials did look into their activities (despite GOP complaints about investigations of right-wing groups in the past). But, is that enough? Should a "Trump" remedy also be applied? More surveillance of where middle-aged white guys gather, especially in the Midwest? Should people who travel to, and then return from the Midwest be subject to special scrutiny? Is some sort of registration procedure to be contemplated? Other measures may also come to mind.

Perhaps we should follow Trump's lead and kill their families to send a message to other prospective terrorists.

this is to me the most scary aspect of Trump's campaign. It's starting to appear that he's unleashed a lot of rage and inspired some of these angry people to start the "revolution."

Starting?

Trump is a threat to democracy. His constant whining about a rigged election is setting the stage for Election Day violence.

Shortest.

Revolution.

Ever.

Sure. But how much freedom are we all going to lose to stop a few thousand people building IEDs?

Were Kansas Terrorism Suspects Self-Radicalized—or Were Their Actions Inspired by Donald Trump?
