Name any act of violence that has been committed by a "left" person this "political season," whatever time frame that encompasses.


Huh?

I think it's hard to make a case that the left is meaningfully more violent, even weighing in stuff like riots/arson/looting (and it's not actually fair to pin all that on the left, when we know so much is opportunistic and only loosely ideology-driven).

But you can't name an act of violence committed by someone on the left recently? Not one?


Are you in the states? ICE protests that get violent. Burning Tesla dealerships. Assassinations. The list is long and growing.


There are organisations keeping track of this.

"All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists. This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings."

Just write one down. Any particular place and date.
