Read the list....A lot of those have very dubious connections -if any at all- to any political activity, and NONE of them are a product of organized rioting in the streets....For instance, gang murders in prison hardly equate to political violence in the real world.Another article:
The far-right was responsible for the majority of America’s extremist killings in 2017
In total, extremists killed at least 34 people in 2017. The far-right accounted for 59% of these deaths, or 20 deaths. The report linked several killings to the alt-right movement, which expanded and moved its operations from the internet into the physical world last year. The chaos in Charlottesville, where a counter-protester, Heather Heyer, was killed and dozens were injured after a car driven by a white supremacist plowed into a group of pedestrians, marked the return of neo-Nazi street confrontations. The shift in tactic raises “the likely possibility of more such violent acts in the future,” the report notes.
Really...hundreds? Show me hundreds of verified, police reported non hearsay and demonstratably ideologicaly motivated incidents. Oh and try not to use Brietbart, another very flawed source. I will wait for the hundreds.And for the left...dont take the low road. Michelle Obama is right, not Eric Holder or Maxine Waters.
FACT CHECK: Is Left-Wing Violence Rising?
Fire your moron fact checker. THe answer is a definite YES... DAILY... More than one a day for past months.
Not only THAT -- but the article you're quoting is from the week of the Congressional baseball team shooting. Literally HUNDREDS of incidences of violence since then targeted at all forms of opposition to the lefttists in this country..
Says the hack whose OP is an article from the hacksters at WaPo?!?Really...hundreds? Show me hundreds of verified, police reported non hearsay and demonstratably ideologicaly motivated incidents. Oh and try not to use Brietbart, another very flawed source. I will wait for the hundreds.
Some food for thought here.
Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence
Authoritarians historically have gained power by pointing to non-existent violence from their opponents.
In a recent address to right-wing evangelical leaders, President Trump warned that Democrats will resort to brute force if they win the midterm elections. “They will overturn everything we’ve done and they will do it violently,” said Trump, presenting his political opponents as an imminent threat to freedom of religion and speech.
This statement builds on a narrative that has gained power on Fox News and social media. It has been fed by conservative media outlets like Breitbart and organizations like the National Rifle Association, which has also publicly threatened journalists.
But the story that a wave of left-wing terrorism threatens America is wrong. The poster child for this false narrative is antifa, a small, weak organization that protests white supremacist aggression.
The real threat of violence comes from the right. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism reports that right-wingers and white supremacists were responsible for 74 percent of the murders committed by political extremists in the United States over the past decade. Only 2 percent were committed by left-wing radicals. Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, has calculated that “terrorists inspired by Nationalist and Right Wing ideology have killed about 10 times as many people as Left Wing terrorists since 1992.”
What’s more, white supremacists and their fellow travelers have strong connections to the establishment right and are far more organized than the antifa. They seek to provoke confrontation through armed marches onto college campuses and into the centers of liberal-leaning cities, like the confrontation in Charlottesville last summer.
These narratives about aggressive left-wing violence aren’t just distorted. They are dangerous, because they set the stage for replacing democratic institutions with authoritarian rule. Provoking street violence and blaming it on their opponents is exactly how totalitarian regimes have gained power in the past.
Perspective | Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence
One of the links in your above post, goes to a Forbes article and while it leaves much of the murders on the Islamists. The article had a piece of information that went along with the topic. Is stated that while left wingnuts only killed 23 people since 1992, however since 2016, the left wing nuts had killed 13 people, while rightwingnuts only killed 5. It seems your hypothesis is flawed.

Antifa is not the Bogeyman you have blown them up to be. They are thugs that tangle with and target white nationslists. They destroy property and cause rioting and disorder. You have bkown them uo into something like MS -13 which is ridiculous.oh bullshit. The Op doesnt support Antifa any more than you support the neo nazis.You take the incident of a nutter shooting congressmen and use that to portray the entire left and excuse the violence from the right.I think it is about even. The left has been largeky rude and trashy. The right a bit more lethal, killing immigrants, burning mosques, running over protesters.
What immigrants were killed? What Congressmen were shot?
You condemn Maxine Water's words and give Trump's words a free pass. You scour the right wing media pushing this meme of one sided violence or, more often, just rude band trashy behavior.
No wonder think it so one sided, it excuses the right and creates a new class of victims and worse justifies violent actions on your part.
As to your second question:
Man who yelled 'get out of my country' before killing Indian immigrant pleads guilty, faces life sentence
Antifa is a violent organization, and you support it in your op.
As do the dem party and many lib politicians.
From your op.
" antifa, a small, weak organization that protests white supremacist aggression."
Lol, so no response then?The RWNJs are careful about who witnesses their crimes but they are far more violent.But it's not a fact. It is rwnj propaganda.We do have eyes and ears....
The vast majority of the violence is coming from the left
FACT...……………...
I will wager I can provide more videos of left wing violence
than you can of Right wing violence....
I will bet you won't bet because we all know you
libtards are all full of shit...….
“Wanna” bet you lying Jack Ass?
Study shows two-thirds of U.S. terrorism tied to right-wing extremists
No one believes your Bull Shit....
November 6th will prove it...….
Cool.
Libertarians and anarcho-capitalists have disavowed and dissociated themselves form kooks like Christopher Cantwell...The left can't say the same...In fact, they venerate their violent goons.There is clear danger coming from both ends. When it's pouring out like water through a fire hose, trying to identify which end is worse is folly.
This doesn't improve until both ends fully hold their own tribe accountable.
Not holding my breath.

Non existent violence? What about cutting off Trump's head, holding it up with all the blood dripping down and calling it 'comedy?' What kind of sick fucker does that? What about antifa violence? What about a Democrat shooting a congressman at a ball game? What about Maxi Waters telling people to attack Republicans at gas stations and restaurants? WTF are you even talking about? Oh wait......I get it now....You and your ilk are ALWAYS 'victims'....I think I get it now.....If lefties attack it's because someone said something 'bad.'
