FILE - A person carries a sign supporting QAnon during a protest rally in Olympia, Wash., on May 14, 2020. The QAnon conspiracy theory has been linked to acts of real-world violence, including last year's riot at the U.S. Capitol. In June 2021, a federal intelligence report warned that QAnon adherents could target Democrats and other political opponents for more violence.
Right-wing conspiracy theorists killed five people last year in two incidents, both involving “troubled perpetrators,” the ADL report says.was charged with killing his two young children with a spear gun in Mexico. Coleman told an FBI agent that he was “enlightened” by conspiracy theories, including QAnon, and believed his wife had passed “serpent DNA” on to his children, according to a court affidavit., was charged with killing his brother, his sister-in-law and a family friend in September.
A core idea QAnon promotes is that Trump was secretly fighting a Satan-worshipping, child sex trafficking cabal of “deep state” enemies, prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites. QAnon hasn't faded away with Trump leaving office. A dearth of mass killings in 2021 meant that last year's tally was far lower than the totals in any year between 2015 and 2019, when killings by domestic extremists ranged from 45 to 78.Right-wing extremists have killed at least 333 people in the U.S. over the past decade, accounting for three-quarters of all extremist-related killings, the report says.
