There have been 13 "alt-right" killers in under four years, according to the SPLC. Most recently Samuel Woodward, who has reportedly been linked to a neo-Nazi group, was arrested for the brutal murder of 19-year-old college student Blaze Bernstein in California earlier this year.

All the killers on the list are white, and most were under 30 when the crimes took place.

"While some certainly displayed signs of mental illness, all share a history of consuming and/or participating in the type of far-right ecosystem that defines the alt-right," the SPLC writes.

Certainly interesting.
