Trump frequently accuses the far-left of inciting violence, yet right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years, while antifa members haven't killed any, according to a new study

Posted on 07/31/2020 4:22:14 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

New research, based on almost 900 politically-motivated plots and murders in the US since 1994, found only one person's death in the last 25 years was linked to "antifa" or anti-fascists, and the person who died was the attacker.

In comparison, over that same period, 329 murders were linked to the far-right.

When the label was broadened from anti-fascists to left-wing violence, it found 21 victims had been killed since 2010, compared to 117 in right-wing violence in the same time period.

Jihadist groups were responsible for 95 people's deaths since 2010.

The database, which was compiled by a thinktank called the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was launched after Trump's administration spent several months stoking the possibility of left-wing violence, especially during the George Floyd protests.

Statistically you’re more likely to catch a Clinton ordered .25 behind ear.

The OKC bombing helped Bill Clinton enormously and effectively ended the militia movement, it also stinks to high heaven.

When AntiFa creeps or any Left winger kill someone they’re lone wolves.

I’ll read it later too. At the time I dug into anything publicly available, and the more I read the more I could smell a rat. Now that I know the FBI and other federal agencies as I do, I’m more curious than ever about the case.

“over that same period, 329 murders were linked to the far-right.‘

what does “linked to” even mean? They’re just making this stuff up.

Here’s the thing about the truth of this article:
ISIS was a creature of John McCain. John McCain wore a red jersey, even though he was a traitor.

On that basis, the article may be accurate, as sick as that is.

Easy statistics - just count anyone who voted Republican in the past 20 years as “Far Right,” and voila!

I’ve never met a right wing extremist. Not sure I’d know one if I saw it. I’ve seen plenty of Communist, liberal, Marxist, Fascist, Racist, Evil Democrats. They’re everywhere.

"Well, he’s not a real Leftist, because no true Leftist would commit murder..."

It's this circular reasoning that is used as proof by the left. Always. They really are not very bright, just MEAN. They operate the way satan does. Lies become accepted truth because of repetition. These people are narcissists. They cannot change.

If you are a believer then you know God speaks of a time of "the falling away". "...when because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie”(2 Thessalonians 2:9-11).

God will allow repentance for only so long. After that point in time, He will allow evil to do it's worst in the hearts of those who chose it. The reason? For the sake of the elect who long for the kingdom of God. (The Chosen are those He longs to reward.) They can only take it for so long. Even the saved have a limit to what they can endure. PERHAPS WE HAVE REACHED THE BEGINNING OF THAT TIME.

Sorry, buddy, but you guys on the left own the murder of about 61 million children through abortion.
I don't see you writing about that. I mean, if we're throwing numbers around simply for appearances...

Wait ... I thought antifa didn’t exist as a group but as a thought or an action? Make up your minds, media.

The Guardian? Really? The Guardian wants the world to believe that “far right extremists”...and Trump...are responsible for Krakatoa's eruption in 1883.

Business Insider should stick to business.

Oh wait! I forgot it is a big business to get rid of President Trump.
