Southern Poverty Law Center Reports "The Alt-Right Is Killing People"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

White supremacists in the self-styled "alt-right" movement are
responsible for racist violence that's left more than 100 people dead or
wounded. That's according to the Southern Poverty Law Center in a new
investigation titled "The Alt-Right Is Killing People." It finds 13
"alt-right"-related fatal episodes committed by young white men since
2014, including mass shootings in Charleston, South Carolina; Isla
Vista, California; Roseburg, Oregon; and Quebec City in Canada. The
Southern Poverty Law Center reports, "Websites like Breitbart, Reddit
and 4chan have fueled the growth of the alt-right by spreading
radicalizing propaganda designed to nourish white male resentment over
cultural and demographic changes."
