Murders By U.S. White Supremacists More Than Doubled In 2017, New Report Shows
From this source: Extremism, Terrorism & Bigotry: Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2017 by the Anti-Defamation League. [adl.org]
The report, “Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2017,” published Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said extremists killed 34 people last year. Twenty of those victims — or 59 percent — were killed by right-wing extremists, a designation that includes white supremacists, members of the so-called “alt-right” and “alt-lite,” and members of the anti-government militia movement.
Of the 34 people killed, 18 were murdered by white supremacists, marking a 157 percent increase over the 7 people killed by white supremacists in 2016.
