> It's wild that we've hit a point where the existence of Right-Wing Extremists is simply denied.
It's not denied; it's just that anyone vaguely right wing who kills is classified as a right wing terror attack. Right wing terror is constantly talked about, so it may appear bigger than it is.
Whereas in terms of groups or common causes, the three listed are much bigger. Why is it healthcare CEOs, presidents and campus debaters all be shot at (and killed in 2 of those cases) and the shootings be celebrated by so many on the left, and well into the mainstream? There's no right wing equivalent any more.
The extreme right massively outperforms the left, which I'm sure is in part due to the right wing obsession with owning as much stuff as possible to kill people with as you can.
Antonio Mays Jr was killed on livestream by CHAZ security — and the crime scene tampered after to prevent conviction by CHAZ members.
Tyler Robinson is clearly leftwing, as evidenced by the message on the bullets and association with the leftwing trans militia his partner was a member of in Utah.
If you are going to present two people killed by left wing extremists - the extremists should be people actually found guilty based on the evidence presented in a court of law, whose motive was also established by the court.
What you have given is a bunch of claims about 2 crimes, only one of which even has a suspect. There have been numerous reports, and frankly, American news media is inherently partisan, a lot of it is inherently unreliable and it is not a credible basis upon which to claim facts.
Let me give you an decent (factual) example of people killed by extremism:
Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger
Who were all killed by Robert Bowers. The attack was motivated by violent antisemitism, according to the evidence presented at trial.
The trial showed he espoused white-supremacist and antisemitic beliefs, promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy theories and opposed refugee resettlement.
His online activity included Holocaust-denial and pro-Nazi statements, according to evidence presented in his federal case.
In June 2023, a federal jury found Bowers guilty on all 63 federal counts, including hate-crime charges.
Imagine working this hard to defend child murder by your political allies, live-streamed on Twitch when they assassinated a black youth for joyriding on their turf.
So your example of left wing extremism is an unidentified black lives matter member that assassinated a black youth for joyriding, based on assumptions.
It's not exactly the most compelling example of a political motivated assassination, is it. Given I can pull out literally dozens of people killed by right wing extremists with overwhelming evidence and convicted in a court of law.
I'm a centrist, and I'm not even American. Your argument holds less weight than a wet paper bag.
We know he was killed by the John Brown Gun Club operating as “security” for CHAZ because they live streamed them shooting the vehicle, discovering he was still alive, and executing Antonio Mays Jr to the chilling words “Oh, you’re still alive?” before the gunshot that took his life.
Your argument we can’t count that as leftwing violence is as nonsense as saying we can’t count historic lynching as racial violence because the perpetrators weren’t convicted.
