One of the common tricks for such data sets is to count violence by white prison gangs as right-wing, but somehow violence by black or Hispanic prison gangs doesn’t count as left-wing.
If the pointy heads want to include blocking an abortion clinic as an act of political violence, then they must also include every time the left blocked an ICE/NG facility & vehicle.
I’m sure it doesn’t include the routine violence that conservative speakers are subjected to every time they speak on a college campus. This low-level violence has become completely normalized on the left and in the regime media.
Oddly enough, I just had this "convo" with Grok. I say convo because I kept pointing out that the data is massively flawed and even Groc references "far Right" but does not refer to "far Left" anywhere. The problem is that FBIi data is relient on the self reporting of US police departments or prosecutions. The BLM, Antifa attacks are also not labeled as far left violence because the statistics ignore violence which occurs "by chance" and the usual nonsense that antifa doesn't have a central organization. So the people who decide what constitutes hate crimes and violence purposely exclude the largest purveyors of violence because they don't announce it ahead of time. They also exclude from hate crimes violence things like looting and arson when done in conjuction with 1st amendment protest activities.
Our entire "education"/media/NGO/govt complex is a radical and radicalizing enterprise that won't stop until we are completely controlled by its "soft" tyranny. Make no mistake, these people are the enemy. The organizers, the money, the status seekers, the useful idiots, all of them.
There is a political violence problem in the United States, and there's an interesting debate about what's behind it, but anyone who says "The bullets are only flying in one direction" is just plain wrong.
Most memorable lesson from my excellent statistics class of many years ago:
Statistics don't lie---but statisticians do.
Thank you for showing the "manipulation" of facts, inclusioin or exclusion of events and numbers, the "reclassification" of events many times over...just to name a few of the distotions the liberals/left were able to extrct from reality was most enlightening Batya.
Sounds a lot like --name the person and I'll find the crime..rather than the other--correct way
Refreshing to have someone as smart and educated as B! jump onto this. Absent such push-back partisan data “review” - when repeated without question over and over - seems to become true
You managed to get through the entire post without mentioning the murder of the liberal Democratic Minnesota state legislator by a right-winger. Or was that just a funky illusion?
Copied from a comment by @Amusings: "the two MN legislators had just crossed the aisle in a vote to side with their conservative colleagues. ''Crossing the aisle to side with the bad guys will get you killed. Don't do it!' - was the message. It was very much left wing violence."
Gemini: "In June 2025, Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman cast the sole DFL (Democratic) vote to pass SSHF1, a Republican-backed bill ending state-subsidized healthcare (MinnesotaCare) for undocumented adult immigrants."
Ungar-Sargon is being taken to task by perfectly reasonable conservatives, which should tell you something, and that something is that she is a partisan blinded by ideology.
Buffalo, El Paso, Pittsburgh. Do you want more? It's not just one data point, although this awful cherry-picked excuse for a post has no problem with isolating just one data point. Readers will love it because it's "based", when really it's "biased".
Clearly most political violence is left wing. The question is why? I think it is because Left wing violence has Establishment support, so Lefties are far more free to organize than Right wingers are.
Left wing violence is supported by the violent left wing portion of the establishment, rather than the establishment as a whole. Political tensions exist within the ruling class, and some of its members became progressive lawyers and judges precisely because they believe in tipping the scales of justice.
Someone who is ideologically opposed to free enterprise isn't likely to become a business entrepreneur, but that mansion isn't going to pay for itself. Becoming a very well-paid lawyer, a legal entrepreneur if you will, enables a life of luxury without the ideologue having to produce anything useful.
The more crime takes place, the richer the criminal lawyer will be, all while reassuring themselves they are working for society's underdogs. That's how London became the legal centre for resolving disputes between Russia's oligarch mafia.
This is a very needed service Batya! Thanks for exposing this at this time. I had reviewed this data set a couple of years ago and knew about the right being tagged with the violence committed in prisons from the aryan brother's while BLM and most left wing acts were omitted. I was not aware that the attacks on ICE or the violence of the Palestinian riots was also omitted. Not surprised. The left lies about everything...

That's easy. There is no "far left." The entire left are a terrorist class.
I am a data geek and my first instinct is always to check the data. Let me pick the base year and I can win any argument.
Thank you for doing the work to counter the right-wing violence assertion. You are the lone voice vs the entirety of legacy media.

They want a one party system of government and no more debate about anything
They want perpetual power
Thank you Batya! 👏👏👏
This too is biased.
No mention of Minneapolis, Buffalo, El Paso.

The author doesn’t seem to even engage with critics which tells you something.

Stalin's data indicated that 100% of the people he had executed were counter-revolutionary.

We don't have to guess about the political orientation of the shooter, who also stalked and wounded other Democratic lawmakers, who didn't vote with Republicans. He was a right-wing nut. So Amusings is just making up excuses. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/minnesota-shootings-vance-boelter.html
Even if here “right-wing,” how does that change the fact it is predominantly left-wing?🙄
Well, yes, if you don't count the right-wing incidents, the result will be predominantly left-wing.
Which right-wing “incidents” are not counted?
You can find a discussion of what’s been distorted at the link below, which is from a libertarian author.

Aw, I’m sorry fact hurts you.
You'll have to do much worse than that. Can't you see how these facts have been cherry-picked?
When they listed "deaths" on Jan 6 in the right-wing violence category, I quit reading.
Cuz facts are scary
