Deaths from mass shootings vs deaths from homegrown terror plots- a look at the figures

It’s a simple visualisation, but I wanted to make sure I got it up as quickly as possible. The Triangle Center for Terrorism and Homeland Security in North Carolina issued a report, “Muslim-American Terrorism: Declining Further”, which, as you might guess, states that homegrown terror plots with Muslim-American suspects are declining. Just 14 Muslim-Americans were indicted in 2012, compared with 21 in 2011.

Just so you know, dear reader, I went back and did a more elaborate grouped column chart with the data, but WordPress won’t let me update it.

Mother Jones does a good write-up of the report, which you can find here.
