[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, once you start to poke around, you realize just how bad these reports are. Its basically a handful of people deciding what is right-wing and what is terrorism.

For example, this is right-wing terrorism:"Fountain Valley, California, December 2, 2024. Timothy Bradford Cole II, described by law enforcement as a documented white supremacist gang member, allegedly set fire to a bush outside a relative’s house in an attempt to catch the house on fire, as retaliation for a custody-related issue. Cole reportedly drove off when police found him near the home, but crashed into another vehicle, injuring two people and killing a third, Hong Ngoc Nguyen, a foreign exchange student from Vietnam. Authorities have charged Cole with murder, evading a police officer causing death, two counts of evading a police officer causing serious injury and arson of an inhabited structure.[25]"

Basically a custody dispute/car accident morphs into right-wing terrorism according to these hacks.

Probably not something to use to direct law-enforcement resources, but the past administration wanted to go after its enemies.[/quote]

The CATO report has damning numbers on right wing violence. I suppose you think that those guys are left leaning? Multiple studies conducted by different groups with their own methodologies point to the same conclusion =/= "handful of people deciding..."[/quote]

This is from the CATO report: The number of deaths in politically motivated terrorist attacks is so tiny that any statistical analysis is extremely fragile. However, there is one consistent finding from analyses of politically motivated terrorism: there aren’t many deaths. Thus, their small numbers mean it’s important to intensely analyze individual politically motivated terrorist offenses because the inclusion or exclusion of just a few killers or misclassification makes a big difference in the final tally.[/quote]
