Seems more of an antisemite rather than white supremacist per se. Didn't publish any manifestos either. But I'll allow it.

Still, that's very few events, which supports my point. It's basically a more potent "think of the children" trojan horse that routinely gives the government even more power (and potential for abuse) through harebrained and ineffectual laws. See e.g. the current FISA abuse scandal where the FBI _falsified the supporting documentation, and knowingly supplied fake documentation to the court_ to spy on a presidential campaign. Had it been you or me they spied on, nobody would even know.

I think you'll find that isn't the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_synagogue_shooting#...

Again, I agree with you that domestic extremism (be it white supremacist, Muslim, or Black Hebrew Israelites) should be countered through ordinary policing, rather than building the Stasi's wet dream.
