Yes, that B.S. thing fits "Both Sides."
It turns out that if you count the Jan. 6 riots but not the Black Lives Matter riots, then the Right is infinitely more violent than the Left. If you don’t count racist black men mowing down a bunch of white people as a left-wing racist murder, but you do count a suicidal kid with President Donald Trump on his “hit list” killing two white strangers as a right-wing racist murder, then you can get results that appeal to the liberal media....
That's called "cooking the books" in real life. It's also called "Democrat Methodology"--in other words, LYING.
Bloomberg makes a big deal out of "studies" conducted on the topic. But those "studies" are so loaded with methodological flaws that they are useless--except to Lefty propagandists at Bloomberg and other "highly-trained professional" journalists.
How crappy are their "studies"?
...Levitz, posturing as something of a fact-checker, said ADL’s study showed “right-wingers committed the vast majority of political murders.” But the data he provided didn’t even try to make that claim.
If you read ADL’s methodology notes, the organization doesn’t claim to be tracking “political murders” as Levitz falsely claimed, but murders “by people associated with a variety of domestic extremist movements.”
That may sound like a thin distinction, but it really matters, especially on the ADL study. A “political murder” would be the assassination of Kirk. Murders “by people associated with a variety of domestic extremist movements” is a far larger category. If a KKK member murders his wife, that is a murder by a person associated with a domestic extremist movement.
It turns out that this sort of apolitical murder by extremist-associated people is a massive portion of the ADL’s study.
For instance, Aidan Ingalls was an obviously disturbed and suicidal boy who planned a school shooting and made a “hit list” of people he wanted to assassinate, including Trump. A few years later, Ingalls shot two random strangers — an elderly white couple on a pier.
ADL counted this as a “right-wing extremist” killing in the chart Levitz posted, because “police found swastikas and other white supremacist markings on the gun he used.” That’s obviously inapt, but it’s even more obviously not what Levitz called it: a right-wing “political murder.”...
If you're local, this is a bad memory:
...Darrell Brooks was a black man and a budding rapper who drove a car into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six people and injuring dozens. His Facebook profile showed he was racially motivated and a supporter of BLM. One post showed the middle-finger emoji and the words “The old white ppl 2, KNOKK DEM TF OUT.” Brooks posted anti-police content and made posts about white privilege.
Where did this BLM supporter murdering white people show up in ADL’s study? He didn’t. It simply never mentioned the mass killing in its 2021 report....
Then there's another well-known case:
...Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old woman who identifies as a man, went into a Christian school and killed six children. She railed against white privilege and chose her target — her former elementary school — in part because it was Christian. In her manifesto, she railed against parents whose “conservative religion” makes them reject gender transitions. She also railed against white people and “privilege.”
Hale’s crimes do not show up in ADL’s 2023 report....
You'll hear that "Conservatives" are more violent. But you'd be well-advised to avoid Lefties while shopping.

Says the guy whose tagline is "buy more ammo."
There is a big difference between being prepared and the Left's "Fire at Will" action.
