At least 50 incidents since the protests started.

More evidence that the actual violence comes from the far right.

The violence is coming from the radical fringes of both sides.

I guess that they borrowed that tactic from that Muslim guy in France some years ago.

So...like oil and natural gas, America is now self sufficient in its supply of terrorism. No need to import it from the Muslims anymore!

The problem is, with the world being round, that you go far enough (left or right) and you end up approaching from the other side.

Similarly, as a community polarises and pushes further apart, each side ends up picking up and using "tactics" normally associated with the other in order to "reach" their targets.

True...I haven't seen much destruction of property from the right of late.

And I haven't seen regular murders from the left but of course the right are typically more concerned about property than human lives.

The point being that the initial comment was regarding "violence", with nothing to specify the target of that violence.

Had the person making the comment being responded to meant against a specific target (or category of target), they would have specified this in their statement, not made a general statement such as they did.

Violence can be against people and\or property. The question specified violence in general, not a subset\category of this.

To complain that the answer to the statement did not meet your preferred subset (which had not been specified) is intellectually dishonest, and a poor attempt to try and divert attention from inconvenient facts.

It would also be useful if you could cease trying to project beliefs onto a group of people, with no supporting evidence, in an attempt to appear morally superior.

This is a rather typical expectation from people whom prefer hate over honesty, IMHO

Haven't we been here a million times already?

Poverty and domestic violence also kills.
I find it hard to believe some people ignore this fact.
Perhaps they are more than just "Ignorant". :scratch:

Here's what I believe is one of the most recent attempts by a New Zealander (although I can't confirm this was done by a right-wing extremist) to convert a vehicle into a weapon...
