Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism.

[Mr. Blond]

Proud Boys defending themselves from Antifa is “Right Wing violence”.

[ What do you think of this Folks? ]

Could be a good thing, I mean the left and media are scared sh!tless about offending Muslims and they make up less than 2% of the population and yet they cower to them and change rules for them and stuff.

Maybe the left and the media need to start fearing the righteous?

[Salvavida]

Goebbels would be so proud.

Typical liberal application of Hitler’s old adage, ‘tell a lie often and loud enough and it will be believed’.

Compared to the number of crimes in a year in the FBI UCRs, the number of hate crimes rounds to =zero=. It’s like 0.02% of all crimes, or something similar. I looked it up and did the math in a recent thread on this a week or so ago.

I hate Washington Compost Nazis.

[sport]

Not much.

“ ...far more than any other category of domestic extremist...”

That is only because of two things: First, because they do not define Leftism as extreme, and second, they control the categorization of crimes.

Bet prison violence is included in the stats. White supremasists don’t ya know.

[Olog-hai]

Same goes for its veracity.

[Spok]

Left wing violence is neither reported nor counted. More fake news.

“In the United States, right-wing violence is on the rise”

How does it compare with the shootings on the streets of Chicago?

No, I didn't read the story.

[Eagles6]

Yep.

[KC_Conspirator]

Oh sure, I believe the ComPost’s “analysis”. How many antifa acts of violence have they investigated?

[Louis Foxwell]

Violence against Trump supporters is reaching dangerous levels.

[Musket]

It is so irresponsible for them to publish stuff like this. They're fanning the flames. And uninformed people will believe this crap. I guess they've never seen this ongoing list...

Rap Sheet: ***639*** Acts of Media-Approved Violence and Harassment Against Trump Supporters

If they were REAL Reporters they would be keeping and publishing one of their own. I'm all for Free Speech but this is out right fraud. Can't we sue them or something?(I know we can't, but I can dream ;-)).

Thanks for everyone's replies. Nice to know I wasn't the only one outraged at this.

[clearcarbon]

I was not aware that “right-wing” citizens had started responding decisively to left wing provocations.

[bray]

Left wing violence is justified including shooting cops.
