And if a tit-for-tat on left wing vs right wing political violence is what you want, you’ll lose by a mile. Leftist are far, far more violent.
Another example of our Civil War.
no. leftists are not "far, far more violent"
"Information on terrorist attacks and the terrorists themselves in the United States is available from the Global Terrorism Database, the RAND Corporation, and other sources. I further grouped the ideology of the attackers into four broad categories of Left Wingers, Nationalists and Right Wingers, Islamists, and Unknown/Others.
Terrorists murdered 3,342 people on U.S. soil from 1992 through August 12, 2017. Islamist terrorists are responsible for 92% of all those murders. The 9/11 attacks, by themselves, killed about 89% of all the victims during this time. During this time, the chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack committed by an Islamist was about 1 in 2.5 million per year.
Nationalist and Right Wing terrorists are the second deadliest group by ideology, as they account for 6.6% of all terrorist murders during this time. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the second deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history, killed 168 people and accounted for 77% of all the murders committed by Nationalist and Right Wing terrorists. The chance of being murdered in a Nationalist or Right Wing terrorist attack was about 1 in 33 million per year.
Left Wing terrorists killed only 23 people in terrorist attacks during this time, about 0.7% of the total number of murders, but 13 since the beginning of 2016. Nationalist and Right Wing terrorists have only killed five since then, including Charlottesville. Regardless, the annual chance of being murdered by a Left Wing terrorist was about 1 in 330 million per year."
https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2017/08/21/which-ideology-has-inspired-...and no, I understand that even though the shooting of Gifford took place at a democratic political rally, that the shooter was definitely mentally unstable and very very very confused about politics. Gifford's shooter was inspired by his own twisted view of Gifford's politics and government in general. I am NOT blaming any of the political rhetoric by the right a that time for Gifford's shooter's actions in ANY way.
JUST AS the shooter of the Steve Scalise was mentally disturbed and very confused about politics. Scalise's shooter was inspired by his own twisted view of Gifford's politics and government in general. I am NOT blaming any of the political rhetoric by the left a that time for Scalise's shooter's actions in ANY way.
