New York's anti-terrorism boss called Thursday on the United States to introduce new domestic terrorism laws to cover threats posed by internal extremists like the rioters who stormed the Capitol.
He noted that the US has so far been wary of such a law, adding that the country needs to look at it again in light of the rioting by supporters of President Donald Trump that left five people dead.
Americans can be prosecuted if they post on an online Islamic State Group forum, but not if they post on a forum for a neo-Nazi group located within the United States, even if it is about arming itself.

Remember
Murphy says his bosses, the top DHS officials, told him in no uncertain terms on several occasions to play down the threat of white supremacists and to play up the threat of antifa and other militant leftists. And he says he was told to do this so that the DHS intelligence assessments would match what Trump says publicly. And publicly, the president frequently and erroneously, we should say, portrays antifa as an equal or even greater threat than the exponentially deadlier extreme right. This is something I've discussed with Seth Jones at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He's got a long background in counterterrorism work. And he and other analysts say the White House assertions of widespread violence from the left are baseless.
