Typo under Ku Klux Klan

edit

The year listed is 1019 when it should be 1918.

From the source, "The Bureau has been investigating the criminal activities of white supremacy extremists like Ku Klux Klan members since as early as 1918." SkyTargeter (talk) 06:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Right-wing extremist

Where’s the section about left-wing extremists, such as BLM, Antifa, etc?

We don't deal in fantasy, only facts supported by reliable sources. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:07, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Is that a fact? Mostly what I see in this article is a lack of neutrality.

A 2017 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that out of the 85 deadly extremist incidents which had occurred since September 11, 2001, white supremacist extremist groups were responsible for 73%, while radical Islamist extremists were responsible for 27%. The total number of deaths which was caused by each group was about the same, though 41% of the deaths were attributable to radical Islamists and they all occurred in a single event — the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting in which 49 people were killed by a lone gunman. No deaths were attributed to left-wing groups. soibangla (talk) 02:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Here:

The Department of Homeland Security reported in October 2020 that white supremacists posed the top domestic terrorism threat, which FBI director Christopher Wray confirmed in March 2021, noting the bureau had elevated the threat to the same level as ISIS. The DHS report did not mention antifa, despite persistent allegations about its threat from the political right in recent years.

And that's DHS in October 2020, when Trump was president. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:21, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
And they delayed release of the report for as long as they could before the senior DHS intel guy called them out. soibangla (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

January 6 United States Capitol attack

edit

As per an RFC there is no community consensus to call January 6 United States Capitol attack as Terrorism as per this RFC .Hence it should not added this page. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:16, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

What would count as a consensus? That RFC you linked had at least 63 said yes, at least 42 said no, and at least 24 said wait. 2603:6011:9600:52C0:9804:53F7:C76F:B6F8 (talk) 02:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Did you read the first line of the summary of that RfC closure? --ZimZalaBim talk 03:29, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Would like to add the following Entry to the list:


The 2017 Las Vegas shooting, considered the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, took place on October 1, 2017, when a gunman, Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel onto a crowd of concertgoers attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival. The attack left 58 people dead and over 850 injured, including 411 from gunfire, in a span of 10 minutes. Paddock, a 64-year-old retiree, had stockpiled an arsenal of firearms, including semi-automatic rifles modified with bump stocks to increase their rate of fire. He fired over 1,000 rounds before taking his own life as law enforcement breached his hotel room. Despite an extensive investigation, authorities were unable to determine a clear motive for Paddock’s actions, and he had no known ties to terrorist groups or criminal activities. The incident prompted renewed debates about gun control, mental health, and public safety measures within the United States.

  Not done: Given that terrorism is defined as being motivated by some sort of ideological goals, I don't believe the 2017 Las Vegas shooting would merit inclusion, as the gunman's motive was never determined. – Recoil16 (talk) 21:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
