DHS terror bulletin paints bleak picture following mass shootings

After a particularly violent month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning the threats the U.S. faces are only expected to become more “dynamic” as domestic extremists eye more vulnerable targets.

“Several recent violent attacks by lone offenders against minority communities, schools, houses of worship, and mass transit have demonstrated the dynamic and complex nature of the threat environment facing the United States,” the agency wrote in a terrorism advisory bulletin posted Tuesday.

The bulletin, updated every few months, is the first since gunmen opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., and at a school in Uvalde, Texas.

“In the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high-profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets,” the DHS wrote, noting schools, houses of worship and minority groups could all be targeted.

I wish they would be more specific about who the domestic terrorists are likely to be.

Whatever gets done, if anything, will lack teeth.

For now, the Death Lottery continues.
