Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years

Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump has made warnings about the threat of antifa and “far-left fascism” a central part of his re-election campaign. But in reality leftwing attacks have left far fewer people dead than violence by rightwing extremists, new research indicates, and antifa activists have not been linked to a single murder in decades.

A new database of nearly 900 politically motivated attacks and plots in the United States since 1994 includes just one attack staged by an anti-fascist that led to fatalities. In that case, the single person killed was the perpetrator.

Over the same time period, American white supremacists and other rightwing extremists have carried out attacks that left at least 329 victims dead, according to the database.

When they invaded in their school-bus armadas.

What do you mean no one got killed?

It was Antifa after all. Not the Zodiac Killer, Ted Cruz.

First the Bowling Green Massacre, then the "Zero Murders" had america on edge.

Law abiding white christian americans can now rest at ease, knowing the suspects in the Zero Murders have been found.
