White Supremacy Groups

The motives and actions of White Supremacy groups hold many similarities to terrorist organizations in other parts of the world and with a current U.S. policy that focuses on Islamic groups, an increased opportunity exists for white supremacist groups to conduct acts of domestic terrorism and future attacks must be expected. Individuals involved with the white supremacist movement continue to promote an ideology of hate and subsequently use the protection provided under the First Amendment to do so without fear of criminal prosecution. The greatest threats from these groups come from individuals acting as 'lone wolves' in order to independently plan and conduct domestic terrorism in support of their beliefs. Timothy McVeigh demonstrated the ability to employ the tactics of a lone wolf to conduct a horrific attack on the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 that claimed the lives of 196 people. Tom Metzger, a prominent individual involved in the white supremacist movement, actively promotes the white supremacist and anti-government ideology and willingly supports potential lone wolves.
