> Over the past 12 months, the Anti-Defamation League sent 1,000 tips to law enforcement based on tracking of social-media comments made by U.S. extremists groups leading up to Wednesday’s riot, and noted the increasing ratcheting up of violent rhetoric.
The FBI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

- colejohnson66 6y agoTangential question: what does “immediately respond” mean? “We asked and didn’t get an answer in 5 minutes”? I’ve seen this on many news sites and it’s never clear what timeframe “immediately” refers to.
- Quinner 6y agoThe question was asked and they didn't respond before the article was published, a timespan which in this case is likely a few hours.
