Interesting mix of tropes in the article.
What is noticeably missing is any mention of violence instigated by Antifa/et. al.
I don't agree that there is no threat from far right extremists. There usually are people at the far edge of any movement that use violence as a means to intimidate. This is true of right and left.
I think it's good they're defending themselves. That's what we do. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
And I might be a little drunk so pass the sauceThat's funny.... 'cuz your screen name.
When the extremes of anything , start to take over how something is viewed , and are perceived as normal or commonplace...then you have trouble.
Violence on the Left...Yes
Violence on the Right..Yes again
Neither of the extreme sides of the political coin are strangers to the use of violence.
But then moderation does not sell newspapers , make headlines , or becomes a viral video.
The fear mongering that goes on in the news , blogs and other social media , does not do anything to help.
Many folks:
Just take the first "hit" of their internet search for information as the whole truth...
Refuse to look beyond the media stereotype...
Only use and quote sources that back up what , whatever idea that they like or want to believe...
Personally I am tired of someone trying to sell me a boogeyman.
Are there folks on the Left who are out to commit violent acts on others in the name of their cause...Yes.
Just like there are people on the Right who are willing to do the same.
Again personally I think that The Bill of Rights is for all US citizens...Whether I agree with them politically or not.*
But as soon as you :
Commit criminal acts...
Or
Use violence to try and force others to your way of thinking...
Then you should also get a chance to experience our legal and justice system...with all of its good , bad and indifference.
*Ironically many of the slogans and symbols from parties and groups of both the extreme Left and Right are taken from groups and forms governments that would not allow the anything in the way of protest or Freedom.
It seems to me to sheer folly to cry for "freedom and Justice" , while carrying a sign with a symbol of a regime that murdered millions.

yes ofcourse you would say that liberals always say its on both sides its a leftist talking point, yet it is heavily one sided check the stats if you would you like to see a score cardI don't agree that there is no threat from far right extremists.
