How America Treats Ring Wing Domestic Terrorist vs Other Groups

[LurkerSix]

Happen to hear this podcast the other day, on how our law enforcement treats different groups of terrorism in this country. Right wing terror groups seem to get less than half of the jail time (if they even go to jail) than brown people accused of terrorism.

President Donald Trump has used the threat of foreign-born terrorists to justify his travel ban – but since 9/11, nearly every terrorist attack in the United States has come from within. On this episode of Reveal, we investigate which domestic terror episodes get tracked and why.

Reveal’s Stan Alcorn looks into two back-to-back terrorist plots in 2010: a Somali American’s attempted bombing of a Portland, Oregon, Christmas tree lighting and an American arsonist who set the suspect’s mosque on fire in reaction. We look into how law enforcement responded to these cases so differently – despite the role it played in one.

Already, there’s a huge disparity in the way U.S. law enforcement investigates and prosecutes right-wing extremists and other suspected terrorists. Veteran journalists and counterterrorism experts discuss this phenomenon under the Obama and Trump administrations.

The law often goes after Islamist terrorists in the U.S. more than domestic right-wing ones. Reveal’s Katharine Mieszkowski tells the story of Jerad and Amanda Miller, a couple who’d raised red flags with local law enforcement. But investigators didn’t regard their anti-government views as a threat – until it was too late.

Hateful rhetoric has become so commonplace that many Americans ignore it – sometimes, with deadly consequences.

Cliff notes for the lazy; Government over a year baited a poor Somali teen into doing a terror plot then arrested him, he got 30 years plus a lifetime of probation. White kids burns down a Mosque 2 days after Somali kids arrest and ends up getting 5 years probation. Last story is about a couple who for years went around talking about raising up against the government and shooting people. Cops just talked to them and let them go. Guy didnt even get in trouble for having a gun while being felon. Ends up killing cops and shooting up Walmart.
