There were a total of 17,284 reported murder and non-negligent manslaughter cases in the U.S. in 2017.

On average, there've been appx 16,500 homicides per year since 2000.

"From Sept. 12th, 2001, to Dec. 31st, 2016 — there have been 85 attacks in the country by violent extremists resulting in 225 deaths.

"GAO reported citing data from the U.S. Extremist Crime Database.

Of those 225 deaths:

• 106 individuals were killed by far-right violent extremists in 62 separate incidents

• 119 individuals were killed by radical Islamist violent extremists in 23 separate incidents

• The number of people killed in a given year ranged from one to 49."

In the 15 years between September 12th, 2001 and December 31st, 2016, there've been 106 people killed by domestic (non Jihadist/"far Right") terror attacks in 62 incidents. That averages out to appx. 7 deaths per year in appx 4 incidents per year.

Putting that into perspective that's 106 deaths out of the appx 247,000 U.S. homicides, or appx 1/25 of 1% (0.25%) of all homicides in America over that period.

THAT'S an accurate indication of the threat posed by (non Jihadist/"far Right") domestic terrorism and of the relative size and significance of that movement.

By comparison, urban gang violence accounts for more than half of all "black-on-black" homicides each year, somewhat over 4,000/year.

The focus on domestic (non Jihadist), especially "white supremacist terrorism" is a negligible portion of the homicides in the U.S.

So much so, that the total number of deaths by homegrown (non Jihadist) domestic terrorism from September 12th, 2001 to the end of 2016, 106 over those 15 years, is a negligible percentage (0.65%) of the 16,500 U.S. homicides in an average year!

In the past two weeks, we've had 3 mass shootings, resulting in a total of 43 deaths.

4 deaths, including the shooter, in California (by an apparent Eco Terrorist, Santino William Legan, who'd railed against "Paving over pristine places so that hordes of MEZTISOS and SILICON VALLEY WHITE TWATS can live here," 10 deaths, including the shooter, in Dayton, OH (by an alleged Antifa supporter), Connor Betts and 29 by an anti immigrant psychopath (Patrick Crusius).

Those 3 incidents alone account for 38% of the domestic (non Jihadist/"far Right") terror acts in the 15 years between September 12th, 2001 & the end of 2016.

This violence has been both inspired and encouraged by a malignant media that has continually hyped an ideological Cold Civil War, not merely since 2016, but with the media-inspired "War on Police," with the Ferguson Lie and its subsequent cheerleading for the Antifa violence that has plagued much of the country since.
