EXTREMISM FROM A1

p henomenon, historians, theolo- gians and other experts say, exem- plified by a recent NPR-Ipsos poll in which nearly 1 in 5 said they believe Satan-worshipping, child- enslaving elites seek to control the world. As shutdowns paralyzed the economy in the first months of the pandemic, Americans sharply increased searches for extremist and white supremacist materials online, according to Moonshot CVE, a research firm that studies extremism. The United States was not the only country affected: A British study found that the pandemic boosted radicalization globally, as people found more time to delve into extremist argu- ments. New insecurities and fears loosed by the pandemic fed into an existing erosion of trust in leaders and institutions, accord- ing to those who have studied how people react to rampant, uncontrolled disease. Some of these insecurities pre- dated the pandemic: Many of those arrested in the Capitol riot owned businesses or worked white-collar jobs, and a Washing- ton Post analysis of public records found that nearly 60 percent of people facing charges had prior money troubles, including bank- ruptcies and unpaid taxes. But many got involved in politics only after virus-related shutdowns clobbered their personal financ- es. Between that economic wallop and the disease’s lethal punch, covid-19 has “reminded Ameri- cans of their own mortality” and created a sense of “social disloca- tion and a loss of confidence in all institutions,” said Richard Land, LOUISE JOHNS FOR THE WASHINGTON POST president of Southern Evangeli- cal Seminary outside Charlotte ith many houses of wor- Fea said. had in our history.” and a longtime evangelical lead- ship, schools and work- “There’s a lot of continuity be- To that portrait of a lonely er.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2021 The World In pandemic, a choppy migration for Canada’s snowbirds

BY AMANDA COLETTA toronto — Pamela Bendall and her husband ordinarily jaunt south each winter to warmer climes. This year, for the first time since 2008, they’re staying put on relatively chilly Vancouver Is- land. The decision, she said, was “simple”: Canada has advised against nonessential travel, and they followed the guidance. Claude Whitlock spent “a lot of time” debating whether to trek to his property in Tampa during the pandemic. Then he compared the cost of the tires he’d need to endure a harsh Quebec winter with the cost of shipping the truck south — and left in November. Each winter, an estimated 1 million Canadians abandon the Great White North for balmier destinations, heading to condos, rental properties or mobile home parks where they live for any- where from a month to half a year. Now the pandemic is upending the annual migration of Canada’s snowbirds. Some have opted to roost at home. Others flocked to sun-soaked destinations as nor- mal, but in the year of the pan- demic, the experience has been anything but. Some have managed to get vaccinated against the novel cor- onavirus sooner than they would have in Canada.

Convicted robber hit new bank, police say

‘CAUGHT IN THE ACT,’ PROSECUTOR SAYS Surveillance operation records heist in Md.

BY DAN MORSE

Carisa Cline, according to court records, picked the wrong time to rob a bank. It was a recent Monday after- noon in Gaithersburg. Detectives investigating two recent bank jobs had locked in on Cline, 44, who just three months earlier had been released from federal prison after serving a long sentence for bank robbery. They had set up covert surveillance and say they were following her black sedan when it suddenly pulled into a Wells Fargo parking lot. Cline walked in, authorities al- lege, and a minute later ran out. “Was actually caught in the act,” prosecutor Arielle Hinton said in a hearing for Cline, who is due back in court March 5.

Volunteers feed hungry with food that would be tossed by restaurants, stores

VOLUNTEERS FROM B1 to places where they can pick up produce, meat, dairy products and prepared meals that are close to being thrown away. The volunteers then deliver the donated goods to families in need in their communities or drop them off at local churches and food pantries. In Prince William County, several national grocery chains, as well as local stores such as Todos Market in Dumfries, contribute perishable items that are near expiration. Evers makes regular trips to Dumfries United Methodist Church to pick up groceries, along with tacos and sandwiches from restaurants such as Zandra’s Taqueria, Nando’s Peri-Peri and Chick-fil-A. While families in need stop by the church to pick up free groceries, people who are homebound receive deliveries from Evers and other volunteers.

WIZARDS 131, ROCKETS 119 Beal scores 37 points, Washington wins again

BY AVA WALLACE

It took John Wall’s return to Capital One Arena to remind the Washington Wizards who they are — or at least who the team had been six weeks ago, before a mid- January pause for a coronavirus outbreak upended its season. The Wizards team that defeated Wall’s shorthanded Houston Rock- ets, 131-119, on Monday looked more like the squad that was ex- pected this season. The defensive lapses remained, but Washington’s offense was finally able to do the heavy lifting it looked capable of at the start of the year. “It was a good win for us,” Coach Scott Brooks said. “We’re 5-5 in the last 10. With what we’ve gone through, I think it’s pretty solid. Now, we still have to build on it. We can’t rest. We can’t relax. We’ve got a lot of games coming up — that’s what we want, and we’ve just got to keep chipping away.” The Wizards (8-17) broke a long dry spell to post one of their stron- gest offensive outings of the past month and shot 52.2 percent over- FABRICE COFFRINI/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES all, including 40 percent from American Mikaela Shiffrin won the women’s Alpine combined event in Italy for her sixth career world title and ninth world championship medal. three-point range.
