Extremist-related murders in the United States have decreased for the second year in a row, according to data published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Tuesday.
Comments on the statistics
“While a decrease in extremist-related killings is a welcome trend, every single one of these murders is a tragedy,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “And last year we witnessed mass shootings in Texas and Florida at the hands of avowed white supremacists who took their hatred to the next level. These events, which could have resulted in much higher fatalities had law enforcement not interceded, are a reminder of the still serious threat of far-right violence.”
