I'm still not aware of the killings, the article had no details. Maybe they included those couple cops killed in NYC a few years back? Maybe they didn't? All we have is a bar chart. And it's not like anger at police is a liberal-exclusive position.

It did remind me of the congressional baseball game shooter, who as far as I remember, didn't kill anyone (though not for lack of trying). That was stacked against several more successful mass murder attempts from right wingers.

The real problem isn't right wingers or left wingers. The real problem are extremists who are willing to resort to violence and to destroy civic discourse. One extreme fringe has a higher body count, which is still in the same league as being hit by lightning. The other extreme fringe has a lesser body count, while the press is covering for their excesses, as the numbering climbs towards 4 digits.

What we should be concerned about, is how the dishonesty and bias distorts the information available to the public, and destroys civic discourse.

Cheers, agree on the larger point.

I still think antifa is blown out of proportion for propaganda purposes
