No need to flail madly if you don't understand what Selkirk was saying. There's this thing called Google, which would lead you to the NYT Article featuring a link to the report that the article draws from.And since some right wing incidents do end in deaths, how many happen without them? It should be very obvious that relatively few attacks result in fatalities. The report makes it clear that most of the attacks are against property (cross-burning, vandalism, arson) or against specific people, with very few mass-casualty attacks. But just because they've been relatively ineffective at racking up a large body count to this point does not diminish the danger present in their continued attacks on everything the US stands for. Keep in mind those figures specifically exclude both the Olympic Park and Oklahoma City bombings, as well as a number of abortion clinic bombings in the 1990s. Dis the person compiling this have a bias? It's from the counterterrorism center at the US Military Academy, so very probably not. But you can read the report and draw your own conclusions. how about the radical leftist that attacked the Pentagon Metro Station in 2010..? where do you group him? The bipolar individual with libertarian rantings on his blogs? Yeah, a real left wing radical there. But fine, lets say he's a left wing radical, that's one attack injuring two the same year right wing extremists killed 17 people and injured 178 in around 300 attacks. Three years ago, Abdullatif A. Aldosary, admitted to the US as a refugee, set off a bomb at the back door of a Social Security Administration office in Casa Grande, Arizona. so something the conservatives are scared about HAS KINDA ALREADY HAPPENED. Thank God it just made a loud bang. And in that same year right wing extremists launched around 350 attacks and killed 30 people while injuring nearly 200. Why shouldn't our response to that right wing terrorism be 350 (or at least 30) times as severe as our response to islamic terrorism? I suppose I should clarify it was right wing christian extremists, because of course Islamic terrorists from Al Qaeda, Daesh, and Al Shabaab are exclusively right wing extremists as well. |
