Coast Guard Officer charged with trying to kill a hit list of anti-Trump people

[Yukaphile]

@LittleRaven That was a Sanders voter. Funny how quickly he'll shrug off accusations of harassment by his cult-brainwashed minions when it's coming from Democrats (primarily women and minorities), but when a Republican gets mad, oh noes, I MUST apologize for this OBSCENE act of... of... uncivility!

Reminds me of the pipe bomb incident back leading up to the midterms.

But there's no reason to think the American Far Right has built an environment that encourages terrorism. /s

Do violent attacks from the left indicate that the American Far Left has built an environment that encourages terrorism?

Given that they happen with considerably less frequency to the point that every extremist related death in America was the result of right wing actors, I'm going to say no.

Correction - the leftist extremists didn't kill anyone in 2018 AFAIK. In 2017 wasn't it all leftists doing lethal terrorism? Do they like, trade off?

Nope, the right led the pack in 2017 as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/118 ... -2017/amp/

Thank you for the correction. So I guess the answer is (1) only murder counts and (2) only the faction in the lead counts?

Murder certainly counts a hell of a lot more than vandalism and when the faction in the lead does an order or magnitude more murder, there is clearly a profound difference in the factions.

Odd that you didn't answer either question.

I answered both questions. Murder counts a whole lot more than anything else when it comes to terrorism and the side that has the lead, especially when it's as staggering a one as the right has, counts a whole lot more. The left has lead to a small number of terrorists that rise and fall in number but never get especially large in number. The right on the other hand is producing an increasing number of terrorists from a base level that was much higher to begin with. Quite frankly I'm just hoping the far right doesn't manage to turn out another Timothy McVeigh especially since a certain someone has been trying to paint the FBI as enemies of the people to try and cover his ass.

Afraid not. You said murder counts more than vandalism, but you didn't answer whether or not only murder counts, which was my question. You didn't say whether or not only the faction in the lead counts, only that there is a profound difference in the factions. You may want to read more carefully and think our your response next time.

This is a bit pedantic. The responses indicated consideration to either condition of if murder is/n't the only consideration or if exclusivity is/n't all that matters.

Are we able to carry on with no and no, respectively?
