It's not a left/right divide, it's a violent/non-violent divide. There've been people across the political spectrum on the violent side, it's not correlated to the left or right.

I'll give credit to all the folks on the left condemning the attack. I think Cenk is a fantastic and refreshing example of that. But the the political persecution and violence is overwhelmingly coming from the left.

> individuals and attacks associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent

> right-wing actors are significantly more violent than left-wing actors

> Numbers [of deaths] for right-wing extremist violence are far higher, with numerous high-profile terrorist attacks as well as lower-level assaults, vandalism, and other forms of violence. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, far-right extremists have killed 130 people in the United States, more than any other political cause, including jihadists.

Actually the shooter was a registered republican. (And apparently a bullied young man looking for any politician.) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o

Name calling doesn't help your argument. And violates the site guidelines.

Very intelligent argument there. It's a wonder why people don't respect you or your opinions. Clearly you're an unmatched genius, probably one of the smartest and most correct people that have ever lived

In all your examples, the political affiliation is either unknown or Republican.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Obviously you can't post like this to HN, and you've done it repeatedly in this thread ("you propaganda pusher", "your last remaining brain cell", etc). This is well over the line at which we ban accounts. I actually banned yours briefly, but I took a closer look at your commenting history and I didn't see you being this abusive in other threads, so I've unbanned your account for now. But please don't post like this, or anything remotely like this, to HN again.
