And in this thread we will hear from the Right Wing zero condemnation of these terrorists and incessant references to Antifa bike locks.
When will liberals start forming mobs for their own self-defense? Or are we going to spend the rest of eternity being punching bags and pincushions for the terrorist Right?
Ah yes, self defense is terrorism when it's the left doing it, amiright folks?
What on Earth are you talking about? I don't even see a freaking article!
In any case, I'm really sick of cherry-picked headlines of a single event meant to demonstrate the volatility of the other side. If one were serious about demonstrating such a trend, then it would be best to compile and compare all politically-motivated violence over a vast period of time, or find a source that does just that.
Personally, if I were to create a thread like this, I'd either go for a broader approach that discusses multiple incidents, or I'd simply talk about this one incident and only that one incident.
Most people absorb news from sources that they are comfortable with, and being selective about stories is a known common bias in the media. This creates a situation where most are only hearing part of the reality of issues like this.
I want to be clear that I'm not making any sort of claim towards which leaning has produced more acts of violence. I'm not saying that you're wrong, or that you're right, I just don't like the way you've approached this. I'm actually speaking from a position of being annoyed with right-wingers using the post-election protests, which, in my opinion, would have happened regardless of who won, to paint the left as overall more violent. I feel that reality is far more nuanced than that.

Right now, the only people I would expect to offer any sort of condemnation are those who go on tangents without so much as reading an article. We don't even have an article here, it's just you rambling off the top of your head.
Given a valid source, I would choose to wait until the thread stretched out a bit before I started pointing out that right-wingers lack variance in their stances. If indeed, we ended up with a situation where absolutely nobody on one side of the fence stepped out of line to condemn actions committed by their 'team', then I think that should be pointed out, but after, and not before.
You're setting the tone in all the wrong ways when you open up by snidely predicting right-winger's behavior. It's a little childish, and it sends the message that you don't actually want or expect a conversation. This sort of thing is more likely to cause people to act defensively, making it that much more difficult to come to any sort of mutual understanding.
