@Darkenyght1701 I find it amazing that there is so much resistance to stopping the inevitable escalation. There are useful tools in the hands of people who would sit back and let everything burn to the ground. It is disheartening.
@Darkenyght1701 It seems like that should be an easy problem to fix if only there was a will to get it done. I think FBI leans hard right on average, which doesn't help.
@AnitaLL it doesn't help that members of the GQP were calling for the FBI to be " defunded" during the runup to the midterms.
Is the FBI conservative? Meh....they try to keep their personal beliefs separate from their work, but it isn't always easy
@Darkenyght1701 Defunding the FBI because they aren't right wing enough is a lot like calling media leftist because the corporations that own them need to be pushed harder to the right. All of it stinks.
I am jaded where the FBI is concerned. I want them to come to the rescue, but I have decades of disappointment, I am wiping the mist off my rose-colored glasses.
@AnitaLL TBH, it shouldn't have to come down to the FBI, or anyone else, " rescuing " us.
@AnitaLL it doesn't help that we can't even come to a concensus as to what constitutes " hate speech".
We are starting to discover that the " right to free speech" is a double edged sword.
Legally, LE can't even monitor these groups because the prior administration did away with the FBI division whose mandate was to do just that.
