The laws of the USA are inadequate in addressing Domestic Terrorists. There is probably a deliberate reason for it, due to the concern for zealotry that has existed in the country since 2001. The Patriot Act is still not well received by many Americans.
For the first time the enemy within, Home Grown Domestic Terrorists, are becoming a concern. The attacks by people like Timothy McVeigh were mostly few and far between, but, that has changed within the past year. Today, Cesar Sayoc was sentenced to 20 years for his threats to the lives of very famous and important people and the news media. It was found he acted because of the influence he found important with the Trump candidacy and his rallies.
It is time in the USA to address the haters, the White Supremacists, White Nationalists and those that will not accept the USA's diversity as valuable and important. We are not alone in worrying about the longevity of these hate organizations, Europe has it's concerns, however, they DO NOT HAVE THE VIOLENCE PROBLEM the USA faces regularly.

US authorities (click here) are investigating the shootings in El Paso that left 22 people dead as a possible case of "domestic terrorism". How big a threat is this kind of terror and how is the US combating it?
Police believe the white suspect, Patrick Crusius, drove hundreds of miles across Texas to a Hispanic-majority city to carry out his attack.
He is believed to be the author of a document posted minutes before the shooting which said the attack was "a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas".
In a statement, the FBI said the attack "underscores the continued threat posed by domestic violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes".
It also said it was concerned that "US-based domestic violent extremists could become inspired by these and previous high-profile attacks to engage in similar acts of violence".
Last month, the FBI said this kind of violence was on the rise and most of it was motivated by some form of white supremacist ideology....
