FBI and law enforcement agencies have a listing of domestic terrorist threats including the ones in your wiki listing. But there is no "deisgnated terrorist organization" definer like exists for "foreign terrorist organization."

Foreign Terrorist Organizations
Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business.

Probably not. Ocelot II Nov 2021 #1

Can the victims families sue civilly? WhiteTara Nov 2021 #4

Maybe the families of the victims can set up a go-fund me (like the Rittenhouse supporters did) Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #16

They not only can but probably will. Colgate 64 Nov 2021 #18

On what grounds? pinkstarburst Nov 2021 #28

Guess the only way to find out for sure would be to test it in court Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #15

More likely charge, if charged federally, is violation of civil rights IMO. Scottie Mom Nov 2021 #2

All involved are white Devil Child Nov 2021 #6

Political beliefs are considered in some states. Scottie Mom Nov 2021 #22

I tend to agree with your assertion "More likely charge...is violation of civil rights..." Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #7

the only possible place would be under WhiteTara Nov 2021 #8

Political affiliation is not a protected class re: civil rights violation Devil Child Nov 2021 #10

thanks. WhiteTara Nov 2021 #11

Political affiliation is possibly the basis for a charge of federal hate crime. Scottie Mom Nov 2021 #23

That said he was found not guilty at the state level... Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #5

Double Jeopardy isn't the issue Zeitghost Nov 2021 #9

"Even if his actions had been found to be unlawful, it still isn't terrorism" Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #13

Don't get civil and criminal charges confused. Ocelot II Nov 2021 #17

I will politely add the illegally concealed Glock Devil Child Nov 2021 #26

Doesn't matter what their history was; did Rittenhouse know about it? Ocelot II Nov 2021 #29

+1000 Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #33

Rittehouse certainly knew about the illegally concealed glock when it was drawn on him Devil Child Nov 2021 #37

If we were discussing a criminal case Zeitghost Nov 2021 #42

There is no way the shooter could have known about the (completely irrelevant)history of his victims Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #53

And I didn't know about the alleged history of Rittenhouse' victims either until this thread. Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #57

I doubt it would work, especially since the Feds... Buckeye_Democrat Nov 2021 #12

See above. There is no civil cause of action for terrorism, so it doesn't matter Ocelot II Nov 2021 #19

Sorry if I wasn't clear,yes state/federal terrorism charges are a separate issue from the civil suit Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #25

I wish I could but no such designation exists Devil Child Nov 2021 #62

Oh, OK so they just aren't "designated" treestar Nov 2021 #65

What interest would the federal government have in this case? Steelrolled Nov 2021 #54

So right wing vigilante violence OK in the US. Got it. Hiawatha Pete Nov 2021 #56
