There was the attack by the Nazi that killed 8 people in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_A..._mall_shooting

The 'great replacement theory' nutjob that killed 10 black people the year before; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Buffalo_shooting

In this country, it's thankfully rarer to have any of these kinds of attacks - left or right - but we still had the murder of Jo Cox and the guy who drove a van into a Mosque in Finsbury Park.

There is a long history of far-right attacks.

As TheDaddy says, these people need to be shunned. It's not left v right but extremists vs us all.
If I have some time I will, respond in depth

The difference is…..the left paint themselves as the nice people, on the right side of history, be nice, be kind, etc etc etc.

When it comes down to it, they are the most violent (antifa) and most authoritarian. They won’t engage in debate, hate anyone that disagrees with them, and ultimately kills those that challenges them.

The left are far more dangerous in my opinion.

Case in point, Kirk was willing to debate and talk, killed by a leftist, solely for that reason.

There’s nothing in that article that suggests the etching on the bullets is incorrect.

Post the specific parts that back up your assertion.
