Federal authorities are deeply concerned about the possibility of domestic terror and violence, including mass shootings, as the July Fourth holiday approaches and the summer season gets fully underway.
A new Homeland Security bulletin obtained exclusively by ABC News warns that "violent extremists might seek to exploit easing COVID-19 restrictions, increased access to mass gatherings, and possible changes in levels of violence during the summer months to conduct attacks against a range of potential targets with little or no warning.”
The intelligence document locks in on the nation returning to normalcy after the pandemic and notes that by the end of Wednesday, "34 states will have State of Emergency orders expire," which means bans on mass gatherings and social distancing restrictions will be largely lifted.
"In recent weeks, domestic violent extremists (DVEs) motivated by various violent ideologies have continued to advocate violence and plan attacks," the bulletin said. "As of 16 June, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists (RMVE-WSs) were sharing downloadable links to a publication discussing targeting mass gatherings, critical infrastructure, and law enforcement officers.”

For this upcoming weekend (and the fact that July 4th is on a weekend makes it worse), you don't need any RW loon extremists to cause havoc in most cities. You have a "mass gathering" (someone's huge 4th of July BBQ, a city block party, some outdoor music event/concert in a park) and the hoodlums will be out in force "settling scores". 
Don’t forget about me. I have a big part in this shitshow.
Love,
Delta.
May Delta be with you (and Eta, and Phi)
