Which side presents the biggest threat of violence in America

On the right, there is a simmering but silent pool of folks who are in many ways a-political. They just want to go to work every day and raise their kids. The details and substiles of politics are not things they want to worry about. But when they do her about LGBTQ issues (school bathrooms and locker rooms) and see Antifa/BLM inspired riots they know in their hearts. " . . that just ain't right".

Now we have inflation and it doesn't matter that Amazon has raised their minimum wage to $15/hr, it costs $70 bucks for a half tank of gas in their F-350 work truck.

These people didn't face off with BLM last year and they are not protesting in front of any court house today . . .they are too busy trying to keep it all together as the Holidays approach.

Yet these are the folks who do in fact have the skill sets and the tools to that should really scare the left. Now Rittenhouse was/is a young fool. But he has seen to it that he has some level of training as a medic I read. He is also said to have weapons' training. The prosecutor said he had come to a fist fight with a rifle. And that is my point. He not only brought an effective firearm, but had the training to use it effectively under stress. And with enough restraint (remember he was just17 at the time) to only use it to save his own life.

Rittenhouse is a young fool, but many out there asre not, and for the time being they are staying at home . . . .But just knowing they are there should scare the bejesus out of Antifa and BLM . . .and the rest of the left. Originally Posted by ICU 812

It was an Antifa guy who killed a man in Oregon for wearing a hat. Two Antifa women attacked a young boy for wearing a red ball cap. An Antifa type killed David Dorn in St. Louis. It was an Antifa who shot a reporter in Portland. It was an Antifa type who almost killed reporter Andy Ngo.

Let’s see.

Attack on Capital - the right


Attacks on federal and state law enforcement officers - Left


Threats against elected officials - the right and the left


Men arrested with armories or weapons and bomb making wanting to kill politicians - the right



There were no weapons or bombs brought "into" the Capital and the left wanted to kill a Republican at a baseball game


I think we see the pattern forming.



Yeah and the people in Virginia, Portland and Seattle saw it and voted against it.

There definitely is a pattern forming, it's called "a red tsunami" and it is coming to a city and state near you.

Even the few Jan 6th protesters, out of the thousands there, who actually entered the Capitol building were not armed.

It is plane that the liberal-left is the ideology of violence in America today.

The only shooting in the Capital on Jan 6th was a black cop shooting a white girl.

I am not aware of any AR-style rifles in the occupied cspital building . . . amybe some of the cops , but none of the protesters.

In any case, across America in 2020, all the looting, burning and wanton violence was conducted by the liberal-left through BLM and Antifa rioters. "Middle America": the working middle class, the folks who are said to own a hundred million guns, stayed at home that summer.

They want to stay home and live out "normal" lives taking care of work, their kids and their families. Believe me; You want them to stay at home too.

Meanwhile, the folks standing on their front porch with guns confronting a hostile crowd in Missouri were (at that time) self-identified liberal Democrats.

Ok: I will go along with that characterization of Rittenhouse. We raised a son who did turn out alright, but at that age it was touch and go at times.

It's all relative to what your definition of "violence" is... if you get so worked up over one lying jackass like Trump that you are willing to storm the capitol and threaten violence and commit violence with deadly weapons to overturn democracy, that's one thing to me... if you want to march and loot and steal TVs, that's another thing to me.

I define "violence" as harming (or threatening to harm) another human being. The Trump goofballs have proven they are fine with that as long as their master can ignore the democratic results of an election because their master told him it was all fraud.

I seriously doubt anybody on the left will be threatening lives and storming the Capitol if Biden loses in 2024 (assuming he is still even alive then). In all seriousness though, Biden would not act like a petulant child and lie about a stolen election because his supporters are not mostly full of a bunch of gullible uneducated hick clowns who will believe everything he says no matter how outlandish and nonsensical the claims are like Trump's cult followers do with him.
