i am not so young that i don't remember timothy mcveigh. timothy mcveigh is cut from the same cloth as these individuals here. prior to 9/11, that was the biggest incident of terrorism on our soil committed by a citizen of this country. we need to address domestic terrorists for who they are and not try to excuse away what they do. unfortunately, this administration has created a climate where he tries to have false equals, where none exist. where he gives room for individuals situated as domestic terrorists to feel comfortable walking in public without their hoods anymore. the candle ceremony is a nazi ceremony. the tiki torch was to represent the candle ceremony. this is not just an attack on african americans but americans. we must stand up and be clear with our voice. we support strength in the hate crime act. data matters, policy should be driven by data, not politics. when we were able to get the hate crime act passed in 2009, a real important component was left out, the requirement of local jurisdictions providing data. if we are abl

timothy mcveigh. timothy mcveigh was not an archetypal lone wolf. nonetheless, he had no direct organizational connection. he was not carrying that out on behalf of an organization. the key variable there was that he was able to get the information freely available which, in 1995 was an infantile era, compared to now. the exchange of information now. my emphasis is always on the threat from organization and maybe not another 9/11 but certainly mumbai style or paris style attack. it is worrisome you have now a a mass of people that can access the information more easily than mcveigh could have. you also have a large number of foreign fighters. 40,000 over several countries and not all of them will be killed off despite optimistic hopes they will. some will come back and be part of an organized campaign but some may be the lone wolves of tomorrow they may have the same , military expertise that timothy mcveigh had. then, i would also say that just as boaz described the nature of , terrorism is constantly evolving and changing. never in a good way. whe
