Would you need a chart removing 9/11 if the chart was for the murderers and not the victims?
Worth noting is that the source for this is the Cato Institute, a Koch-funded think tank with particular political leanings.
If this is the maximum amount of lipstick they can find to put on the pig of right-wing extremism in the United States, you know it’s bad.
I don’t think the right has any intention of losing their numbers lead. On another note, I think may on the right do consider the Islamism motivated murders as being „left“ murders so they would probably refute this data.
i made a tiktok about this that got throttled. pretty sure i shouldnt have mentioned the president.
Oh boy oh boy, wait for the pendulum to swing
would help if the chart said clearly “murders =victims” – ppl confuse it with number of attackers. 9/11 skews the victim count hard, but was just a handful of perpetrators.
Categorizing these is an admittedly tough task, but didnt immediately pass the sniff test.
Robert Allen Long, for example murdered 8 Asian massage workers which would likely seem racial in nature, but county investigators saw no evidence of racial bias, and by his admission, „wanted to punish those that enabled his sex acts“.
What would then be the rationale for it to be labeled ‚right‘?
How about not killing people over politics…??
This applies to everyone.
The left / right arguments here are absurd.
Well yes but as the electoral college demonstrates, right wing people matter more, so when weighted more appropriately, left wing murderers outweigh right wing murderers.
And anyway, this data is obviously skewed by the notoriously left wing polling apparatus…/checks fine print…the Cato Institute. I’m sure George Soros is behind this group…oh, Charles Koch founded it? Had no idea Charles Koch had become a radical leftist. Shame.
This only shows murders committed by foreign born terrorist. Does not depict any acts committed by domestic terrorists.
Seems like at least some of the perpetrators marked „Left“ should be in the „Other“ category.
Robin Westman:
>YouTube videos allegedly posted by the shooter suggest Westman experienced depression and expressed admiration for at least a dozen other acts of mass violence, but didn’t spell out any specific ideology.

>An analysis from the Anti-Defamation League noted that Westman’s writings contain clear antisemitic messages as well as other racist content targeting Christians, Jews, Black people, LGBTQ+ individuals, Muslims and Hispanics.

Not sure why the author put Westman in the „Left“ category. Westman’s motives seemed mostly in line with their experience at the specific Catholic school, but they were at ideologically mixed.
Why was Luigi Mangione put in the „Left“ category? He grew up in a conservative household and there’s no evidence he broke from that. It seems like he had a bad experience with the healthcare industry, but if that’s what makes someone „Left“, then everyone in this country is „Left“.
>Investigators‘ working theory for the [motive behind the shooting](https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-murder-luigi-mangione-motive-nypd/) is animosity toward the health care industry. The NYPD said it appears Mangione suffered a debilitating back injury on July 4, 2023, that required a visit to an emergency room and subsequently screws on his spine, according to images posted on social media.
According to the NYPD, Mangione was in possession of notebook paper that had handwritten notes that expressed disdain for corporate America, in particular the health care industry.
