White supremacists are officially more of a threat to New Jersey than both ISIS and al Qaeda, according to state security officials.

In the state's annual Terrorism Threat Assessment report, released Friday, the state raised the threat level for white supremacist extremists to "high" -- the topmost category for threat levels for any extremist group in the state.

The only other threat listed as high as white supremacist extremists are homegrown violent extremists, who also held the top place in 2019's report.

Sounds political.

Sure does. Sounds like they’re priming the masses early for election season.

I mean, I want to think most Americans are logical people and don’t fall for this propaganda machine called the media but you never know these days.

This is a direct result of so many of them going off the reservation when Trump came to town. Even though they came from all walks of life, race, and creed.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Trump rally plus the growing NJ 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Movement.

About a 1/3 of the state has voted to be a 2A sanctuary.

When thinking about large numbers of people I have to constantly remind myself that -

I initially think that most are as rational and as intelligent as I am. That we could “get along and be friends” This thought is always a mistake.

Then I think -

HALF the country voted for hillary.

A significant number think wearing pajamas to Walmart is OK.

A significant number of those in politics (AOC?) graduated SOMEWHERE in the lower half of their class.

If it were not for the left we would almost never hear about white supremacists. The left elevates them, gives them national recognition and raises awareness of their stupid organizations.

In a way it’s because the left doesn’t particularly like white people. Many of them harbor guilt or have bought into the white privileged concept.

I’m not really surprised New Jersey did this.

Neither am I! Many years ago I had to go to a company school in NJ. It was a shit hole then.

I think the Democratic Party meets the criteria for being the highest threat.

The highest threat in NJ is the governor and the state representatives and senators or whatever they are called in NJ. cgode hit the nail on the head.

The most recent high profile hate crime in NJ was the attack on the Jewish owned Kosher Deli in Jersey City where several people were killed, including a police officer. The perps were members of the Black Hebrew Israelites. As you might guess, they were hardly right wingers. NJ Governor Phil Murphy is a far left idiot, so his comments are not surprising.

More left wing BS!

Chis42, George Carlin on stupidity.
“ Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that."

"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

"If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to have selfish, ignorant leaders."

Thanks to having a POTUS worthy of the position, the threats from the Islamists have diminished.

That said, it would be interesting to compare NJ's 'threat level' for, say BLM and Antifa and the "Bern Bros". One would think the likelihood of everywhere in New Jersey being calm when Bernie either a) doesn't get the Democratic nomination or b) loses in November are, IMO, zero. That's the obvious, near term threat to that state.

I’d like to know their definition of white supremacist and violent extremist.

I hate Illinois New Jersey Nazis.

Damn, that sounds pretty freaking serious. NJ must be pretty damn bad. Out of curiosity, how many murders in the last year have been attributed to white supremacists? I am having trouble remembering any.

"Reported incidents of white supremacists distributing their propaganda — particularly in the form of flyers in public venues in cities and on college campuses — surged to 168 since January 2019, up from just 46 in 2018."

Very dangerous

Jesus, I had no idea it was that bad! Someone could have gotten a paper cut, they really need to get on top of this before someone really gets hurt. Have you every tried to put a lime in your Corona with a paper cut? That shit stings!

If you're a conservative white male that owns a firearm, just look in the mirror.
