Government Blindness

Shirin Sinnar is a Muslim American who teaches at Stanford Law School. She is also the author of a law review article on domestic and international terrorism, as posted on The Slates website. Reaching to anyone who heard about the New Zealand attack and getting them to think about how similar attacks are affecting the United States. Sinnar wrote an article called Confronting Domestic Terrorism Means Confronting White Nationalism, where she unravels how she feels after the attacks at New Zealand mosques. Sinnar has a fear caused by white nationalist getting closer to our communities and worried that political leaders do not have a good solution in place.
By mentioning a handful of attacks that happened in the United States you really start to think about how many attacks have happened. With Trump in office, many neo-Nazi groups are coming out of the shadows and preparing for war. After reading her article I began to think about how unfair the law is towards minorities who are fighting for their rights. After a deadly attack done by a white person, the news automatically connects the accident with mental health, which is disturbing. When a similar attack is done by a minority it becomes a terrorist attack, which makes no sense when you look at them side by side. Which is why I couldn't help but agree with Sinar about how the government often ignores the problem.
