Between 2006 and 2009, fewer than 1 percent of mass-casualty events — intentional, violent attacks where four or more victims are killed within a 24-hour period — had a link to extremism. Between 2018 and 2021, more than 5 percent did, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis of two databases from the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism and a collaboration between USA Today, The Associated Press and Northeastern University.1 This data is supported by reports from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Anti-Defamation League, all of which show a marked increase in violent attacks linked to extremism in recent years.
Over the last decade and a half, the number of mass-casualty events each year has remained relatively flat. In 2006, for example, there were 38 mass-casualty events in the U.S., resulting in the deaths of 183 people, according to the USA Today/AP/Northeastern database. In 2021, there were 35 events, resulting in the deaths of 172 people; there were also an average of 31 mass-casualty events for each year from 2006 through 2021. Yet despite the total number of mass killings staying static, the number of events with extremist ties has increased, resulting in a higher percentage of extremist-linked mass killings.
There also has been a rise in the number of extremist-linked violent plots, according to the data from START. When extremists consider violent acts, they don’t always result in mass-casualty events. Sometimes perpetrators are caught by law enforcement before any violence can take place; other times fewer than four people are killed, even if the perpetrator likely intended to harm a greater number of people.
Your point sucks too because it’s all but obvious that they’re Trump voters. However, their point also sucks because even purposeful stochastic terrorism is not the same thing as a government run extermination program.
Yeah, I should have communicated more clearly. Sorry. I just mean that these aren’t in the same category. Scale, motivations, and government involvement are all totally different. It is a matter of principle. The two are not comparable. Even a little.
Certainly, I don’t mean to imply mass shootings are the same or on the same scale as government run murder programs. But mass shootings are still mass murders, and the far right are responsible for the lion’s share.
Do you just get a raging boner everytime you see a post and think " I can jam me some politics right up in here"? You people are why the Internet sucks now, if you fell in a pond with a large rock necklace the world would be much happier.
Champ I was referring Mr retard who decided to make this about American politics. Had you read the comment I was replying to you would have noticed that. But nah why would ya do that when you could rabbling and useless. If I had to guess you have populated and made at least 1 extra gootard to carry on you legacy of… what ever it is you are doing.
It’s neat how you people think you are helping with this… the Internet had a solid 20+ wild West years where it was fairly fun, inclusive, and happy. Then Facebook came around and gave the average person the chance to " have their voice heard"… in reality it was the equivalent of city folks moving to a quiet farm town and bitching that their neighbors tractor is too loud, their cows smell, and their siding is the wrong color.
All that warrioring you think you are doing is doing nothing but driving a wedge between every one and building anger… take a look around, look at comments, look at any social media and notice how on edge and angry everyone is… then remember you people are the reason it is there.
[David Attenborough]: notice here as the Internet incel attempts use the " no you are defense" it’s rare to see a internet commenter is such dire desperation… but such is life.
O sorry your not that special, I just reply to comments and algorithms messages you to tell you about it. Nobody cares enough to talked directly to you, but just pretend you are quarantined and have some fun with it.

Call me a hippie but maybe we shouldn’t be plotting mass murder.

No they haven’t stop being fucking hyperbolic.
the man is already at nearing the end of the hyperbole at this point.

Nothing in that talks about Trump voters

Those are rookie numbers, kiddo. See original post.
Whether or not they’re ‘rookie numbers’, the principle remains. Please do not engage in any sort of atrocity denialism.

Genocide advocacy is not kosher here. Refrain from that in the future.
You should be banned for a month.
They really don’t burn well though

I agreed with you, until the last part. That was unnecessary.

Don’t use the term ‘retard’ or its variants here as a form of disparagement. It has an ill history to it.

Alright, well, I’m not interested in arguing the issue, going forward there will be bans handed out, so keep that in mind.
Meh
‘kys’ style comments are not welcome. This is your only warning.
