Someone needs to do a history of left leaning political violence, and by that a run through incidents like Anita Bryant getting a pie to the face or folks tossing glitter, and then ask why the right insists on guns and bullets. #politics
@sfleetucker
A bit problematic, that.
Weather Underground
SDS
Unibomber
When the Left goes violent they seem to prefer bombs.
@Xponent_Rob Fair, though I’m not sure the Unibomber qualifies. the other two were in the 60s, but definitely leftist.
@sfleetucker
Those are limited to my lifetime and my personal memory so I figure that for me it is perfectly fair for the sake of comparison. LOL
As for the Unibomber, I don't recall him or his writings described as right-wing.
This stuff has been brought to mind because I was thinking about Kent State and the mindspace-environment that would cause a young guardsman to pull the trigger.
If you go back farther, it was often Southern Democrats behind the political violence in the South 1865 -

So pointing fingers may not be productive with this subject.
