The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…
…
“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”
if the HELLS ANGLES are not on this list it is a complete fraud.
every criminal gang should be treated like a terrorist. every gang should have their name, colors and logos paraded out in public as equal to terrorists.
every member should be embarrassed to be part of any criminal gang.
the idea it self is not wrong. but how it is used might be.
Right wing white supremisist gangs are not on the list they’re in the in club that will commit the atrocities on the people on the list
Hells Angels seem to be right-wing affiliated. I’d agree that every right wing domestic terrorist group should be on there, but given that Taco pardoned the J6 terrorists, they probably are not.
HAMC is a wild take out of left field. I broke my first bone at a HAMC party and grew up with their kids. I also grew up with the kids of Pagans. I may have a preference towards Pagans and all, but there are chapters and their values differ. HAMC in the Northeast is not the same as HAMC in the South. They are assholes…but for different reasons.
every criminal gang. not just right wing terrorist groups. saying other wise just makes you racist.
Racist? To track right wing terrorist groups that are mostly motivated by racism is racist?
Also, terrorist groups like the Proud Boys, the Oath keepers, etc…doesn’t really have any corresponding leftist groups, unless you count vegan potluck meetings. Apparently, the W administration did count vegan potluck meetings.
so you dont think gangs like Almighty Black P. Stone Nation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almighty_Black_P._Stone_Nation are not motivated by race?
how about Somali Outlaws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_Outlaws you think they dont set their membership by race?
you are targeting right wing ( first and foremost) groups, and not gangs which have far more power and do far more damage…
are groups like the Proud Boys, the Oath keepers, etc dangerous? sure…
but they have not done %5 of the damage the hells angel or the bloods ( or pretty much any other major gang) have done to civilians.
not seeing that makes you racist.
pretty much like indiscriminate bombing of ships in international waters pretty much makes the USA a terrorist nation.
