How does America deal with the threat posed by anti-American MAGA terrorists?

Aug. 12 (UPI) -- The armed, body-armored man killed in a shootout with the FBI and police after attempting to breach an FBI field office in Cincinnati on Thursday was a Navy veteran and appeared to be a prolific poster to former President Donald Trump's Truth Social website.

Ohio state police identified the gunman as Ricky W. Shiffer, 42, who had ties to Columbus, Ohio. Shiffer served as a fire control technician in the Navy, according to military service records obtained by The Washington Post.

Of the United States Military

2. Only FOX "news" has been streamed at military bases

how many of our soldiers have been turned by this anti-American propaganda like this terrorist who used to be in the navy?

3. I've been told on DU that there's no such thing as domestic terrorism.

5. Like the MAGA bomber, the terrorists that attacked our capital or the ....

6. Yep. I guess those guys were figments.

No, the argument is that there are laws on the books that cover everything they're doing. (Like storming the Capital? Really? Like trying to kidnap a Governor to get her out of office? Really?)

I guess hate crime legislation is just a silly whim too.

7. We really don't have sufficient laws to deal with domestic terrorism.

They are protected by the 1st Amendment. The GQP could realistically be designated domestic terrorists.

[Scrivener7]

8. Yes. And, like hate crime designations, domestic terrorism laws would codify the fact that

the underlying philosophy is part of the crime and subject to punishment.

9. How is GOP/MAGA/Right-wing terrorism protected by the 1st Amendment?

10. We faced down the Bund

and neither left nor right radicals seized total power in the decades since.

Sedition, conspiracy, non-profit, and campaign finance laws need to be revisited and strengthened or broadened.
