Domestic Terrorism & Hate Crimes

This week Janet tells us all about domestic terrorism and hate crimes in the US, and boy, does she have some surprising numbers for you.  Want to know who's causing trouble, who's being a big meany, and who's the face of evil in the US? Listen to find out!

*We apologize for the quality of the audio this week. Between glitches and hang ups,some of the cuts are a bit jumpy and robot-y. We're hoping to get things sorted by episode 5.
