No. But they shouldn't be the only measure which when it comes to talking about who's doing more violence in the MSM, etc., it is.
https://www.businessinsider.com/righ...ed-none-2020-7Trump frequently accuses the far-left of inciting violence, yet right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years, while antifa members haven't killed any, according to a new study
https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/08/...ually-violent/Over the past decade, extremists of every stripe have killed 372 Americans. 74 percent of those killings were committed by right wing extremists. Only 2 percent of those deaths were at the hands of left wing extremists.
https://www.npr.org/2017/06/16/53325...iolence-rising"In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders," Pitcavage says. (A senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism.)
When these groups and organizations talk about violence, they only discuss murders and deaths. They leave out everything else, or gloss over it.
Yes, the radical Right kills more people. The radical Left in these most recent protests have far exceeded $1 billion in property damage, injuries, losses, etc., and that number is rapidly rising. How many people have they beaten and injured? How many has the radical Left sent to the hospital? When you start including all that in the analysis the radical Left becomes the biggest threat to economic and social peace in the US by far.

Hello MarcusA,
It won't work.
Even if you could kill all the people who would oppose that - and that would be a LOT of killing (which they are not going to take to lightly,) you can't kill the ideas.
The knowledge would remain, the belief, the spirit of freedom and equality.
You can't kill that.
But, of course, it would never get that far anyway.
There's no way you're doing away with the Constitution. And no way you are going to intimidate people to not vote against such crazy ideas.
Here's what would really happen.
A few very anti-social wackos get the idea they can change the world by driving into crowds and they do it. Whoop de do. They take out a few people. And they get arrested. And they lose their trials and get put away for life, like James Alex Fields Jr. All the rest of the big talkers see what happened to him and suddenly get cold feet about doing the same thing.
It's never going to catch fire in the first place.
Anybody tries anything like that and they simply end up being portrayed as a kook in the news, they get their 15 minutes of fame and a life sentence. Then they get forgotten about, safely locked away, and the rest of the country goes on as before.
The only way a society survives is through people working together to build communities. We have a great nation with as much freedom as possible for everyone. Intelligent and wise people in power understand that it takes all segments of society to make America work. Everybody pulling together, doing their job, whatever it is, making their contribution to the whole. There's not enough haters to replace all those good people.
We live as a collective. Diversity is our strength. We have many voices, many views. We don't all agree and that's OK. We were never meant to have just one voice, be limited to only one narrow vision. That's why we have democracy.

interesting that all the violence so far has been left wing, but the OP says right wing violence will "increase".......
