some stay we need to back away from this event. but what that also mask is them diverting their attention to local capitols, state capitols. in the discussion spaces of the militia groups, that s really where i think we need to start worrying more because the local municipalities have less ability to protect this and thwart it in terms of resources. and a final one, brian, in terms of the white supremacist space, what we see significant discussion of is refugees and refugee location centers coming back from afghanistan. while we see great bipartisanship, a lot of americans coming to get to help the refugees out, it is a lightning rod in the white supremacist space and that s what we need to raise on our radar in the coming months why is it you re right. as advertised, truly scary stuff you ended with there. we are much obliged to our starting line on this thursday night. yamiche alcindor, cynthia
