This is a great report from the SPLC http://www.politicususa.com/2018/02/06/alt-right-killers-43-deaths.html

White supremacists are radicalizing alt-right extremists and using the internet to recruit them, giving them a far larger audience than available to ISIS recruiters.

And they are killing people.

Alt-Right killers are responsible for at least 43 deaths and 60 injuries, with 13 alt-right related fatal episodes according to new research.

According to new research by The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), “there have been at least 13 alt-right related fatal episodes, leaving 43 dead. And more than 60 injured in these incidents (see list). Nine of the 12 incidents counted here occurred in 2017 alone, making last year the most violent year for the movement.”

They explain that the alt-right consists of “vicious trolls, racist activists, and bitter misogynists.”

Radicalization has been used so often with ISIS types of groups to describe the radicalization of young Muslim men through the propaganda of ISIS but white supremacists who are using the same techniques to radicalize young white men have had the added benefit of larger social media platforms allowing them to flourish.

The perpetrators were all male and mostly under the age of 30 with the average age of the alt-right killer being 26. SPLC notes, “While some certainly displayed signs of mental illness, all share a history of consuming and/or participating in the type of far-right ecosystem that defines the alt-right.”

1. The Alt-Right is Killing People

This is a great report by the SPLC https://www.splcenter.org/20180205/alt-right-killing-people

But Atchison wasn’t the first to fit the profile of alt-right killer—that morbid milestone belongs to Elliot Rodger, the 22-year-old who in 2014 killed seven in Isla Vista, California, after uploading a sprawling manifesto filled with hatred of young women and interracial couples (Atchison went by “Elliot Rodger” in one of his many online personas and lauded the “supreme gentleman,” a title Rodger gave himself and has since become a meme on the alt-right).

Including Rodger’s murderous rampage there have been at least 13 alt-right related fatal episodes, leaving 43 dead. And more than 60 injured in these incidents (see list). Nine of the 12 incidents counted here occurred in 2017 alone, making last year the most violent year for the movement.
