According to an Everytown "study"
Basically the study runs with the premise that since left wing "violence" often didn't involve a gun it wasn't actually "violent" while at the same time leaving out the fact that nearly all the right wing "violence", where just the mere presence of a gun qualifies as violence in their opinion, was committed by people often trying to stop acts of left wing violence
USA Today: Everytown ‘Study’ Says Right Wing Armed Protests Turn Violent Twice as Often As Left Wing Protests

The USA article
Armed protests are picking up, and a new study says they're more likely to turn violent

Yeah, that "armed protest" for stuff like 2nd Amendment rallies and similar is bullshit, but it seems the only people who realize that are pro-gun people. Even your middle of the road sheep with no opinions one way or another will see "people with guns" and equate it with violence.
I'm not saying 2nd Amendment folks shouldn't do protests or rallies where they show up healed. Peaceful gun owners in public are (or should be) a positive for us.

Phony news. GLARINGLY phony news ............

How many buildings have been burned at right wing protests in the last 20 months again?

Probably about as many as the police vehicles that were turned over and burned at right wing protests.
(Just like Democrats see George Orwell's 1984 as a blueprint for the future, do you ever get the idea that today's journalists and lefty think tanks are looking to this guy for inspiration?)

Seem to recall reading somewhere he became a teacher. Fitting IMHO.

How many times to left wing people show up to right wing protests to start fights? How about the opposite?
-
They have investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. Shocker.
-
If right wing gun owners were half as violent and blood thirsty as left wing, anti gun, nut jobs try to make us out to be there wouldn't be any left wing, anti gun, nut jobs left to whine about it.

And they know that, which is why they feel totally safe spewing their brazen lies, insults and calumnies.

In the same vein to the USA article.
The evil right wingers are trying to indoctrinate our poor helpless children in collage!
The secret corporate memo behind today's guerilla war on campus progressives

Well, Nikole Hannah-Jones is a racist and a liar.
Also, cracks me up they complain about Fox News' "outrage machine." Wonder how many times they complained about CNN's outrage machine, back when they were the "All of the bad Trump, all of the time!!!" network. For that matter, I have this crazy feeling Salon's outrage machine was also working full-time back then.

Now we have right wing extremists on the Supreme Court
A group of right wing extremists just decided to throw families out of their homes during a global pandemic.
This is an attack on working people across our country and city. New York won’t stand for this vile, unjust decision. https://t.co/Tw6Bt97GC9

Bill de Blasio says ‘right wing extremists’ on SCOTUS shot down eviction moratorium even Biden admitted was unconstitutional

I also saw that New York has only doled out 2% of their eviction relief money. I'm sure his wife and daughter are living the good life.

"Their" homes? Funny how they have to pay rent on "their" homes. Maybe the homes aren't really theirs? Just a theory...

Regardless of the costs to landlords this is a horrible move by the Ds.
These are their voters that their allowing to be turned out. You'd think they'd have done more for them. I imagine this is going to cost them a lot of votes.
Of course the modern Democratic party is more about Wall Street money-men and corporate types than they are about the "little guy" so it kind of makes sense they'd look after those interests first.
-
Interestingly, some landlords are finding workarounds to going broke and losing their properties. Of course some people don't like it:

I'm sure this will be counted as RW violance only.

Other than the fact that yeah, the MSM will put it all on "right wing extremists", I'm not sure I have a problem with cops standing back as two groups like that fight. As long as no innocents are hurt, I'm kinda "meh".

Oh, more on the landlord/tenant stuff, plus politicians being two-faced again:

I don't agree at all. That kind of idiocy drags society down... it teaches people that being a violent fool is socially acceptable.

She says it helps big corporations. Why? Oh yeah, their own Govt regulations make it tougher for people to rent out extra space or a second home so the net effect is big businesses and corporations do all the rentals.

Clearly, being a violent fool IS socially acceptable in Portland. No teaching needed.

If you look at this administrations terrible record and the disrespect for the military from Biden and Pelosi, I think they want the right to rise up so they can declare marshal law.
Don't take the bait. Let's see what the midterms do. If the republicans, with more legislative power nation wide doesn't fix election problems, well I guess it's game on.

Right wing males also have a much higher suicide "success" rate. I guess we know how to get things done.

The cops and antifa work for the same ahole politicians. The cops were told to not go there so their cohorts in Antifa could do the political violence that was desired by the politicians.
