The threat of domestic extremist violence is all over the country. Just last weekend, an 18-year old white man drove to a predominantly Black part of Buffalo, New York, and shot 13 people at a grocery store. 10 have died.

The Bay Area is not immune to this threat of violence. Last year, two men who worked at an auto shop in Napa were arrested and  accused of plotting to blow up the California Democratic Party headquarters in Sacramento.

Guests: Julie Small and Alex Hall, KQED reporters
