    I had no idea that amidst all the violence and rioting from the Left it's really the Right that is the danger. This says the Left isn't 'hyper-violent' like the Right is. If the Right is 'anti-government, I'm not sure what you would call the Left:

    Care to provide a legitimate source instead of Stalinist think tanks attempting to completely shut out all conservative speech on social media?

    The Bureau of Crime statistics would be acceptable. I will give you their link to get you started.

    1) I really don't give a rat's ass if you disapprove of the source. In fact, your disapproval makes me smile, and lends credence to my source's validity.

    2) If you have conflicting data, by all means - share it with the class.

    Nut up or shaddup.

    Quick! Point out to us all the cities they have looted and burned. Oh wait, you can't; because it's only Marxist-loyal radical leftists doing those things . . . all the damn time.

    Or it proves you would go through logical contortions that would make Gumby scream to justify the murderers you apparently support.

    Quick! Point out to us the names of "leftists" who have looted and burned. You made the accusation, back it up.

    Violence comes in many forms, not just murder rates.

    Would you say a wife cannot be abused because her husband never hits her?

    This is cherry picking one statistic to try and validate an argument.

    You can probably look them up, burning city by burning city. Some were even booked before leftist activist judges ordered them released.

    Pay close attention. Strain hard. Focus.

    This is an opinion site.

    What the mainstream media will never show: Boogaloo and BLM marching together arm in arm for pro-gun rights.

    This is a debate site. Opinion without evidence is laughed out of the room, or dismissed out of hand.

    Or when the right does it, you don't consider it a riot?

    A riot is a riot. Violence is violence no matter who does it or their ideology. Stop being a democrat hack. It's tiresome.

    Agree. I'm always baffled about this right wing violence, I'm always being told its rampant but the only example I ever see is one nutjob in Charlottesville that's is now in prison.

    FWIW those 500 or so guys are a bunch if first class pricks, but they only pricked about once a year for a couple hours then crawled back under their respective rocks. Not defending them, It was always uncomfortable but didnt turn into a cluster F until the counter protesters showed up and dialed the volume to 11.
