AOC: Neo-Nazis get off the hook, Muslim suffer

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., insists that the FBI has unfairly charged incidents of domestic terrorism based on race or religion, despite being told that such charges don't exist in a House hearing on Tuesday.
quote:
Ocasio-Cortez argued that violent perpetrators who were white, like at the Tree of Life synagogue shooting or the 2015 shooting at the South Carolina church where nine African Americans were killed, were let "off the hook" with hate crime charges instead of being charged with "domestic terrorism." Domestic terrorism charges, however, do not exist, nor has a law been passed by Congress defining specifically what domestic terrorism charges would be, though there is a statute defining domestic terrorism itself.
"You're using the word 'charge,'" FBI Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity said to Ocasio-Cortez in the hearing. "So, as I said before, there is no domestic terrorism charge 18 USC § 2339 ABCD for a foreign terrorist organization. So, what we do both on the international terrorism side with the homegrown violent extremists and domestic terrorism, we'll use any tool in the toolkit to arrest them.”
quote:
"You're not going to find a charge of domestic terrorism out there," McGarrity said. “Some of the definitions we’re using, I think we’re talking past each other.”
quote:
Ocasio-Cortez brought up the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando and the San Bernadino shooting as examples of terrorism charges, positing that the the cases were only tried as such because the suspects were Muslim.
"Doesn't it seem like because the perpetrator was Muslim, that the designation would say it's a foreign organization?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
McGarrity constantly said "no" during Ocasio-Cortez's question, explaining to her that charges are not dictated by a perpetrator's race or religion
quote:
"This hearing was wild," Ocasio-Cortez said. "First the FBI witness tried to say I was wrong. I tried to be generous + give benefit of doubt, but then we checked. I wasn’t. Violence by Muslims is routinely treated as 'terrorism,' White Supremacist violence isn’t. Neo-Nazis are getting off the hook."
Ocasio-Cortez has yet to explain what McGarrity may have gotten wrong or what specific information she looked back over with her team.

She's honesty retarded.

There are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world.
And I'm guessing ~10,000 Neo Nazis.
I know which I consider the more serious threat.

She's going off what she THINKS the law says/means. The law doesn't say what she WANTS it to say, therefore the law is wrong. Ignorance in action.

Can we get a list of terror attacks carried out by neonazis in the US?
Even if you take the broader category of right wing violence, the Charlottesville guy got life in prison and McVeigh was executed.

She's a fricking idiot.

Liberals are so desperate to find racism, they’re actually mad there isn’t more right wing violence

Yes, Dylann Roof was let off the hook by getting the death sentence and not being charged with "domestic terrorism"

Let’s start applying this to the big city miscreants who make large swaths of our urban areas into third world shitholes

Fraulein Cortez should read up on the history of Arab nations and the 3rd Reich. She might not like what she finds.

These retards want to create a charge so they can use it in a Newsweek article and push a narrative. Apparently killing the guy for what he did isn't good enough (and ironically, I'm sure they're against the death penalty as well)

There’s no plan among the rank and file. Just blind emoting.
Posted on 6/9/19 at 9:53 pm to NIH
yeah, they feel that the charges are more important than the end result. We're gonna kill the motherfricker but apparently that's not good enough.

Wtf is she talking about? The shite she listed....all those guys were held accountable.
Not only will roof die in prison...but his entire bloodline has been all but destroyed by the msm.

Yeah, I don't think the FBI charged a dead guy with terrorism.

The saddest part of that whole "the hearing was wild..." tweet from AOC is from reading the comments. There are responses literally praising AOC like she made some great revelation in her questioning. Even some comments longing for her to run for president in 2028 and basically calling her brilliant. Even some commenters from other countries longing for a visit from her.
What world do these braindead idiots live in? It's sad and ridiculous
