I was looking for evidence of Jazz's assertion that right wing violence is on the rise. A little dated but here is what I found:

Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism. While the data show a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups, violence by white supremacists and other far-right attackers has been on the rise since Barack Obama’s presidency — and has surged since President Trump took office.

You know they've already arrested perhaps hundreds of rioters. So far, pretty much all leftist extremists and criminal opportunists.

I dont doubt the right wing extremists are attracted to this chaos. Theres simply FAR fewer of them and this isnt their crowd. Your "right wing violence" articles are desperate attempts to blame anyone other than the guilty.

The very first day of protests in NYC involved the public throwing all kinds of crap at the cops. Molotov Cocktails, Bricks, Rocks, Fireworks. Let me guess, the cops (who are prevented from pretty much doing anything) were the instigators right?

The right-wing violence gaslighting applies a few tricks. 1) classifying black or leftist crime as non-terrorist or gang violence -- you wont find antifa or a black disciple/ mexican mafia ex-con attacking a white in the terrorist database BUT if some white ex con w a gang (all prison gangs are racial based) attacks someone ITS FAR RIGHT TERROR w total disregard for the motivation. So basically white crime is terror while black crime is just crime 2) school shooters are often classified as right wing for the most silly reasons. The cuban kid in FL apparently made racist comments on social (oh noes, a murderer was ALSO A RACIST!) BUT a 40 year old black supremacist BLM supporter murders 5 cops at a protest and doesnt make the terror database. 3) muslim extremists are often considered religious conservatives and thus...right wing according to these fake news databases 4) anyone who is racist or anti-semitic is considered right wing and added to the stats as such 5) self reported racist name-calling and hate speech scrawled in chalk against minorities gets added to the terror database.

Add these up what do you get? In total for 2018 I saw about 200 incidents in terror database, probably half of the nonviolent self reporting type. It takes selective bias TO THE EXTREME to create the fake news stats to support: RIGHT WING VIOLENCE ON THE RISE!!!!! OMG orange man bad
