Lastly, the Sovereign Citizens may be the most dangerous group among the three. This particular group believes that the government abuses their power and thus, they believe they are not bound by statutory law. The reason they are so dangerous is that they choose which laws they want to obey and which ones they want to ignore. There was an incident in May 2010 where two police officers were murdered after pulling over a father and son on the interstate (Sovereign Citizens). According to the Sovereign Citizens Movement, the movement is rooted in racism and even though many are of African descendant, they are unaware of the history of the group. At first, the group attracted white supremacist because the group developed due to people seeing Jews
Robert A. Gross the author of “The Minutemen and their World” gives a very detailed nonfictional narrative of the small town of Concord, Massauchessets. Gross describes the American Revelotion through the eyes of this community which paints a more vivid picture of the events taking place up to the war which seperated the Unite States for Great Britian through a perspective that I have never seen before.
They were taught to hate them and not forge relationships with these people, and when something bad happens with the police they think that is the only way to get even with them for being brutal or harsh. Which in my personal opinion is the wrong thing to do. When you are taught to hate a certain group, race, and or an ethnicity more than likely you are going to hate that certain group. And when people with that same mentality (aka. mob mentality) join to make a change it can go numerous ways.

Who are the primary victims of the police brutality, in terms of race, social class, and gender?
In the early 1970s through the 1980s, a controversial radical organization called “MOVE” was well known in the city of Philadelphia. This group lived in an unorthodox manner, catching everyone’s attention as they stood out and upset societal expectations. With persistent public demonstrations of racism and police brutality over the years, this group turned violent in order to express themselves and act in self-defense. As the whole city festered hatred and fear for this group, the public and police force unified to rid this group out of Philadelphia. The members of MOVE started as outcasts due to their race and natural lifestyle, but turned into victims of hate from the public and negligence from the police. In order to understand how this
For me living overseas, I avoid demonstrations location and suspicious gathering because a nonviolent demonstration or protest could escalate into a violent riot due to some tension by the frustrated public over social issues such as injustice. For example, August 2011 in London there was an uproar caused by the police shooting of a young man of mixed race named Mark Duggin (Kalleberg, 2015). On the other hand, in the United States, we had several example Ferguson, Missouri riot. I learned that the 1992 Rodney King beating and Los Angeles riots, said to change America since the 1960s (Stewart, 2012). As a rational behavior, such an attack on individuals triggers and instigates people into joining to fight for change fueling a riot. Concerning
There are several types of white supremacy groups the most basic types being Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Identity Evropa, Christian identity, Alternative-right (Alt-right) and Racist Skinhead. These groups vary in beliefs, member age and activism, however they share one main point, white supremacy above all else. They push against immigration, racial interaction and interracial marriages. Groups like Identity Evropa and Racist Skinhead focus on getting the younger generation involved, whereas groups like Ku Klux Klan and Christian Identity are focused on tradition and is based in people ages thirty and
Two domestic Terrorist Groups in the United States is the Black Liberation Army and the other is Antifa. The Black Liberation Army (BLA) was part of the terrorist group with a far left aims, originally part the Black Panther Party formed in 1970. The name of this group came from a line in a Bob Dylan song. The weather men were also part of the 60’s Revolutionary Youth Movement. By examining the weathermen views, and background will show that they were a domestic terrorist group. The weathermen were inspired by the civil rights movement and initially concerned with equality, economic justice, peace, and Participatory democracy. But with the rising tensions in the 60’s because of the Vietnam War peaceful protest turned into violence protest.
Set in Concord, Massachusetts, The Minute Men and Their World is an account of life before, during, and after the American Revolution in the sleepy New England town. Before the beginning of what is quite possibly one of the most important events in American history, Concord was an epicenter of trade for colonial Massachusetts thanks to the many roads that ran directly to the town. In this trade-driven city, many of the residents chose to ignore the issues of Britain’s treatment of the American colonies and focus on their local issues, many of which revolved around the church and politics. Many were concerned more about the many religious issues at hand, such as only elite members of the community only being allowed to attend worship services,
Racist hate groups have been around the Unites States for such a long time, the SPLC break down groups by its own category. There are about 99 neo-Natiz group, 130 Ku Klux Klan, 43 neo-Confederate group and 78 racist skinhead group. Those are several other groups that are classified in general hate groups. In addition, the total number of hate groups in the United States went through 17% in 2016 according to SPLC research. Since election day, white supremacists have held a dozen rallies across the Unites States. Moreover, small group unite with other members from white nationalist groups, who often come together of the alt-right. These ralley become very violent that are met by groups of counter protester and police. In addition, things become
Security threat groups and prison gangs are responsible for a lot of the crimes that occur in prison. Well-organized and highly structured prison gangs who have leaders and influences have been around decades. Gangs in prison can be described as groups whose activities pose a real threat to the safety of the institutional staff and other inmates and also to security of the correctional institution (Beth, 1991). These gangs always have strong leaders and use that leadership role to their advantage as an influence on other inmates by means of violence. Sometimes they are interested in drugs, alcohol, and contraband to other prisoners. Gang activity is an increasing activity in prisons in major cities, rural communities, and prisons. The Aryan Brotherhood, Black guerilla Family, The Folk Nation, The Mexican Mafia, and MS 13 are five of the most dangerous gangs to prison systems among the many gangs that that are known out there.
The fear of the other races creates the false sense for the need for racial profiling, which causes dysfunction in society. We naturally fear danger and our fear one event creates causes a lasting impression about the people of color (POC) to make oneself feel safer. Due to the fact that most people of high power are white men, they typically are protected from discrimination with their supremacy and social position. However, POC do not have such privilege, and are typically subjected to discrimination. The fear that follows tragic events, fear of danger, and fear of losing power one may have creates the need to racially profile the POC, which leads to the corruption and dysfunction of society.
The citizens of America should be informed of the information of the most dangerous gangs in the world, they may be even closer to you then you think. Many of these gangs are very well organized and sophisticated which makes them a huge threat to our society, and people should be more informed about these gangs so they can try to stop their violent activities. In America there is about 33,000 street

The next President of the United States unequivocally makes a difference to its citizens. The President of the United States is a representative of the citizens in the government. As citizens over the age of 18, we vote for individuals to represent our interests in the country. Voting is an important responsibility for every eligible person in a democracy, or constitutional republic such as the United States. Many aspects of our lives from health care to freedom to security are affected by the individuals representing the citizens of the United States. Consequently, voters affect laws and public policy making, influence the government, and protect against government overreach. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, declared,
