“Every year people with ties to a variety of extreme movements and causes kill people in the United States – the ADL Center on Extremism tracks these murders. Extremists regularly commit murders in the service of their ideology, in the service of a group or gang they may belong to, or while engaging in traditional, non-ideological criminal activities. In 2021, domestic extremists killed at least 29 people in the United States, in 19 separate incidents. This represents a modest increase from the 23 extremist-related murders documented in 2020 but is far lower than the number of murders committed in any of the five years prior (which ranged from 45 to 78).”
“The 2021 murder totals were low primarily because no high-casualty extremist-related shooting spree occurred this past year. Such sprees are the main contributor to high murder totals.
Most of the murders (26 of 29) were committed by right-wing extremists, which is usually the case. However, two killings were committed by Black nationalists and one by an Islamist extremist—the latter being the first such killing since 2018,” say the toplines of the Anti-Defamation League’s “Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2021” report, so get ready for the “BuT wHaT AboUT ChiCAgO?!?!?1?!” and “The ADL is the REAL hate group” bullshit from the fanboys annoyed over being called out rightfully for the bloodshed of their side’s violent war on American democracy.
