You have spoken about far right groups being a problem in America previously. McVeigh wasn't acting on behalf of a group, but he was from that American anti state mindset. Who are these groups that are attacking and killing people? Why aren't they being prosecuted? 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

So the problem is that people know about it rather than the crime itself?

McVeigh was caught up with the patriot movement, was hanging out at the Waco siege and was on the gun show circuit. He had accomplices in his actions. Today's NYC bomber doesn't appear to be part of a an organized group. That doesn't stop what he did from being terrorism. The same as McVeigh, who was retaliating against the Federal government on the anniversary of the tragic end to the Waco siege. When people commit crimes, they are prosecuted. Can't get 'em before they commit a crime though, the Magna Carta says so. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger So the problem is that people know about it rather than the crime itself? The point I am making is that, if people perceive crime to be worse now than "back in the day", when, back in the day, news was taken - if at all - from a national daily newspaper in the morning, the evening newspaper in the evening and the news on telly at 9 or 10 (depending on your preference), and now it's blasted at you every moment of every day from a vast array of sources, it makes it seem that crime is worse than it actually is. Trump made a big part of his campaign - and his inaugural speech - about the fact that the streets aren't safe anymore. "American carnage" he called it. People might sense that this is true, because it feels right from what they see and hear in the news - where every incident from near and far is piped directly into your brain - but the truth is that violent crime and murder have reduced steadily and significantly over the last 20 years. For further proof, note that Trump has done exactly f* all to reduce violent crime in over a year as President. He did sign a bill to allow mental people to buy guns, though.

While McVeigh wasn't working with any group, despite people constantly feeling the need to connect him I agree his actions fit the definition of terrorism as they were ideologically driven. If you or others are going to equate these American far right groups with Islamic terrorists, despite the group size realities, then I'll actually like to know if this is a valid comparison.
