    <doh> that's terrorists, unfortunately BLM, and Antifa haven't yet been declared as terrorists, or they would be off the scale. Probably because the Democrats get a lot of funding from BLM.
    Also shows what a good job Donald Trump has done stopping Terrorism in the USA.

    I didn't mention any particular group, Blono, because my point was that there didn't need to be any 'organisation'. These people simply rioted and looted because they could and there was nothing to stop them. There was one interview on our TV (via British TV) of a person who said they were a Medical Student and were rioting and looting 'becuase everyone else was". I know, it demonstrates lack of real intelligence, but there you are. I remember the Mark Duggan affair but not the Edwin de Costa business.

    If you're patriotic and love your country, you're far right, if you don't agree with Antifa you're a far right nazi, if you believe all lives matter you are a far right racist.
    We all know who are causing terrorist acts murdering innocent people, and we all know who are running riot looting killing and burning small businesses down in towns and cities
    I'd like to know who the far right organisations are committing these same crimes who are supposedly top of the league.

    If you look at the linked article it includes the activities of Antifa it also names numerous right-wing organisations. Unfortunately Trump isn't doing that well against the right wing groups :emoticon-0138-think

    It's just one bunch of data though.

    It would be more accurate to graph the cost of large scale protest. Left wing protests have cost a huge amount. The burning down of buildings and the looting, the impact it has on ordinary working people and the cost to Police the protests.
    The "right wing" terrorists are crazy individuals working alone. They are as mad as the Islamic terrorists who attacked on 9/11. They're madness is much more the cause than their political affiliation.
    You can make statistics say anything, just pick the ones you want.

    Not organised?
    So you think that one person, or a small group starts burning stuff, someone sees them so also starts burning stuff. Before you know it you've got an enormous crowd.
    Do you live in a cave?
    All these things are organised in advance, the ones this year in this country have invariably been linked to BLM protests, which have definitely been organised.

    Go ahead lets have a look at that data it could be interesting. (Religious terrorism is counted separately in the graphs)

    I'm not defending extremist individuals or groups on either side. I see terrorism as what happened on 9/11 or 7/7 in the UK. A nutcase shooting up mosque is mass murder by a crazy, deranged individual.
    There is plenty of extreme content available on line if someone wants to see it and some will be affected by it in an extreme way.

    No, the protests are organised. Why is that so difficult to accept?
    There have been left wing shooters who have identified as antifa but I haven't included them because they are individuals, just as the mass murderers who identify as right wing.
    It's not difficult to understand is it?
    What bit don't you get?
