Domestic Terrorism
Terror In Our Own Backyard!!!
What They Are..
Domestic terrorism are violent acts committed by citizens or permanent residences of a state against their own people or property with the intent to instill fear among the inhabitants.
Animal Liberation Front
Claiming to be a modern day underground railroad, the ALF has caused millions of dollars in damage to farms and laboratories in an attempt to free the animals housed there.
Ku Klux Klan
By far one of the most notorious domestic terrorist groups in the U.S. Though they're mainly a protest group now, they have taken credit for horrific acts that include bombings, lynchings, and murder.
Crips
Formed in the 70's the Crips went from a form of neighborhood watch to a 30,000 members strong gang that has spread across the U.S. using murder as a scare tactic to instill fear in citizens and rival gangs alike.
Why They Do It
Whether they claim to be good or own up to being evil the one thing all domestic terrorist groups share is the thing that drives them. It doesn't matter if they're a white supremacist group or they claim to want to free animals, the ideals they have are what drive groups with good intentions to commit some of the most horrific acts in U.S. history.
