About the thread:
Are we looking at this the wrong way? Are homicides going up because of these Alt-Right people? Violence?
Instead of focusing on just homicides from Alt-Right people, what about overall homicides?
One of the criminology pitfalls, when it comes to statistics, is not looking at the population statistic, but looking at a segment. Sometimes, crimes flow from one demographic to another. Really, it's the humans putting the labels on these criminals but the criminals didn't change - only the labels.
By creating these labels, you can track statistics against them and show a trend. But you may be missing the bigger picture. The labels never mattered because these homicides would still occur.
How these labels and segments are helpful is if there is a particular solution to one of these labels you slapped on the population. Or perhaps a set of solutions.
But, if there is no utility in these labels, then it is probably just partisan bullshittery or boogeyman manufacturing.
So let's go back to the Alt-Righters. The homicides and figures about them. Legit? Or is it a label issue? Meaning, these are various groups of other people that were already violent and would have committed homicide? Meaning, better labels would be "Poor, uneducated, from criminal backgrounds"? Or, "Violent Drug offenders." Things like this.
The FBI tracks this stuff, sometimes. They'd have the answers, most likely.
