So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.
Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.
Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.
This one doesn’t count as political?
Alvarado ICE facility attack: 11 charged in ‘ambush’ on ICE officers, officials say
Were the attackers known to be on the left and not just a bunch of dissatisfied right wingers like Crooks and Routh?
Edit: not to mention the list is about people who target politicians, and ICE isn’t a politician.
Neither was Charlie Kirk…
I don’t think we know for sure, but their slogans suggest that they’re leftists, so it seems worth at least a mention.
ICE isn’t a politician, so it doesn’t fit on the list in the article which is all about people committing political violence.
See my other comment reply: directly challenging the government’s monopoly on the use of force seems like one of the most political possible acts.
Try to stick with the topic. Expanding the list to people being violent against the government is going to include dozens more examples of right wingers which we know based on the federal website that was pulled down shortly after the attack so it wouldn’t openly contradict their lies about violence from the left.
Oh, and all the fucksticks that tried to overthrow the 2020 election.
ICE are dogs. Dogs don’t know politics. They obey their masters that’s all. And a rabid attack dog off the leash must be put down.
And if we add all the SovCit attacks on cops etc, it would come out even further right dominated.
Why would it?
You don’t think stopping the current campaign of mass deportations, which seems like a likely motive, is a political goal?
Edit to be clear: politics is the struggle for control of the polity. Directly challenging the government’s monopoly on the use of force is, perhaps, the most political act of violence possible.
If that’s what actually happened, then yeah. But nothing in the article indicates anything resembling a political motive. That’s why I asked why it should be considered political. Never heard of a “political” jailbreak.
They didn’t try to dismantle anything. And just because they happen to have political opinions doesn’t mean that this attack was political.
And, no, it’s not “political“ just because you decided to redefine the word to fit your accusation. Seriously, is it that hard do I admit you were wrong? Do you want to redefine the English language instead? Didn’t think I’d notice?
Lol
