    They don't call it terrorism when it's white people doing it but that's what it is. If you're putting a bullet in someone's window as a kind of warning with intent to terrorise them into submission, moving right, etc, you're doing terrorism.

    The only reason we're not in a civil war is that we haven't started shooting back.

      Actually it's because you require at least two cohesive and well-defined belligerents for there to be a war

        one of us (actual us) could shoot up a proud boys parade or whatever at any time and we have so far declined to do so.

        I think we've mostly concluded that propaganda of the deed doesn't work how the old anarchists wanted it to, all the ecoterroirsts are in prison or dead, and the last time we had a more general group was, what, the weathermen?

    Amazed how little survival instinct Democrats have. The violence against politicians is always aimed at them. (And Scalise's penis.)

    You'd think they might stop working with the right wing over this. I guess the grift is too good?

        But they already support the policies they want. The Dems constantly bend over backwards to accommodate the right and are repaid by being accused of blood libel and shot at. Truly the dumbest lemmings on earth.

    Mr. Torrez moved out of the office after the November election. On the morning of Dec. 10, the Police Department’s ShotSpotter gunshot detection system identified several gunshots in the area of the building that the authorities now think “may be tied to the string of shootings involving elected officials,” the police statement said.
