No, it's not a source, it's showing a meme.

In short, our individual-level examination found that among radicalized individuals in the United States, those adhering to a left-wing ideology were markedly less likely to engage in violent ideologically motivated acts when compared to right-wing individuals.

Since 1990, 26 people with military backgrounds committed crimes in the name of their far-left beliefs, while 333 were driven by their far-right ideologies to do the same.
— University of Maryland National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START)

The idea that far-right extremism poses a threat to the country has been contested by political pundits and some Republican lawmakers, who have attempted to minimize far-right violence and argued that far-left ideologies should receive more focus from law enforcement. But to even compare far-right and far-left movements in the U.S. today is a false equivalency because of the rate at which far-right violence outpaces the far left. The numbers are hard to argue with. Right-wing ideologies were behind a majority of the nearly 600 domestic terror attacks that occurred from 2010 through 2021.

Most 2020 Trump voters said that more than half of murders linked to extremism were committed by left-wing actors; most Democrats and Biden voters said the same of right-wing extremists.

Data released by the ADL last week shows the reality. Over the past decade (the period included in YouGov’s poll), 96 percent of incidents in which extremists killed someone were committed by people motivated by right-wing ideologies. More than three-quarters of the resulting deaths — 335 of 444 — were linked to right-wing actors.

The ADL? Give me a break, lol

I just gave you a ton of examples, but...I guess they were all done by right wing nuts.

Nothing he posted said left-wing extremists don’t do things like this..just that right wing extremists do much more.

Without examples.

Well it said 26 from left wing and 333 from right wing. Anecdotal evidence isn’t great…you could list all 26 if you want and it doesn’t show much. Just that it happens. Did you want them to show all 333 examples? No ones reading through that. I guess it makes it easier to just say it’s made up though

Looks like those 100s firebombings of Pregnancy Crisis Centers are all right wing. With the media so left biased, you know that they would blast them out on the media.

What are we really discussing? To me it’s simple…extremism is bad on both sides. I don’t personally care who is committing it, it’s just bad.

I wonder if this makes the stats list.

Has anyone seen the random punching of women on the streets of NYC that has been happening lately?
So, a writer at Salon just did a piece on it.

Really? No one has seen the stories of men sucker-punching unsuspecting women on the streets in NYC?

I have seen some of that over the years. I don’t know what makes a guy do that. Maybe hot chicks just don’t dig them and they decide to get revenge for all the guys who have ever been shot down by a hot chick. Maybe they look like their exes that hate with a passion and take it out on them. Maybe they just enjoy hitting defenseless girls because it makes them feel powerful somehow. It’s definitely cowardly.

From what I've seen, the woman isn't even paying them any attention to turn them down, just minding their own business and thoughts are somewhere else. Some are saying it's a tiktok trend, idk.

These MAGA “men” that are punching women are pussies. They can’t get any so they resort to violence.

Have you been following this story for awhile, or is this the first you've heard of it?

First I've heard of it. Just read the article you posted.

There are 8,000,000+ people in NYC. All kinds of bad things happen all the time. The odds of this happening to you if you are a woman walking down the street in NYC are probably as good as winning the lotto.

But the results, not so much.

These are types of things that shouldn't be happening regularly, regardless of the population. You are right that the odds are not high if you look at the total population of NYC, but we are talking about a smaller subset, the ones that are just walking down the street minding their own business. If it's regularly happening, it's not exactly the selling point of the Mayor and police. "Come to NYC! The odds that you will get hit suddenly while walking down the street without bothering anyone are like the odds of the lottery."
