John Sexton:
So throwing bricks at ICE vehicles and setting police cars on fire as part of an anti-Israel protest doesn't count? They claim these actions weren't intended to have a broad psychological effect despite the fact that these people are holding mass protests and organizing apps to track ICE movements.
Also, the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers definitely doesn't count (according to this description), even though the shooter shouted "Free Palestine!" after the murders.
And the weeks of arson and vandalism aimed at Teslas and Tesla dealerships, which also had a specific and clearly stated political goal (to punish Elon Musk for his cuts to government through DOGE), is not being counted in this study.
This is absolute garbage. Any study which ignores years of anarchist, anti-Israel, anti-ICE and anti-Elon Musk violence is not worth taking seriously. It's remarkable that even with all of these omissions, leftist violence still comes out on top.
