After 31 people were killed in two mass shootings back-to-back in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, many people have wondered if such attacks are the new normal. And some have pointed to the anti-immigrant screed reportedly published by the Texas shooter before the attack, and the fact that authorities are treating the massacre as a domestic terrorist attack, as an illustration of a rising white nationalist extremist threat in America.
To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by Marcela Garcia, a Boston Globe editorial writer, George Price, a former federal agent with the Department of Justice, and Michael Jeffries, a sociologist and American studies professor at Wellesley College.
