A Homeland Security document<http://www.gordonunleashed.com/HSA%20-%20Rightwing%20Extremism%20-%2009%2004%2007.pdf> A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman’s reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled “one world government.” Topic headers: Current Economic and Political Climate Exploiting Economic Downturn Historical Presidential Election Revisiting the 1990s Economic Hardship and Extremism Illegal Immigration Legislative and Judicial Drivers Perceived Threat from Rise of Other Countries Disgruntled Military Veterans Warning: This document is UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U//FOUO).
