@pppucci:
Strange loop, the two articles you cite are statistically flawed. The most important statistic is left out, which is the prevalence of political parties in the US:
From Wikipedia:
Gallup polling in 2010 that found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats (tying a 22-year low), 29% as Republicans, and 38% as independents.
So most murders are committed by independents, if we are to use the logic of the first author. The fact that blacks commit violent crimes out of proportion to their population has little to do with their party affiliation. That article is not even a study. It is a methodologically flawed manipulation of statistics by a pro-gun site.
This is why I cited both a conservative source and a liberal source. Both sources are flawed, but post-analysis of both articles it is possible to determine the truth on the matter based on only the data, not the spin of the pundits. The second article was indeed based on a academic study. A 2% differential between democrats and republicans does little to distort the 30%+ delta e.g. in North Carolina recorded in the study. Read again the quote:
In North Carolina, about a quarter of those who were released registered after their release. Of those, 52 percent registered as Democrats, 19 percent as Republicans and 22 percent as independents or with other parties.
Go ahead. Google liberal violence. You will find a lot of objectionable rhetoric, the shooting attack on the Republican baseball team (which was roundly condemned by liberal, including Bernie) and little else. Yet Buzz Feed counted 28 incidents of violence and racism in THE FIRST WEEK after the election. Why do you refuse to acknowledge all of these blatant incidents, including the ones I cited before?
If all you can find is "little else" on liberal violence you are not even trying. There is copious video documentation of violence against conservatives and not so much against liberals. For every video you find of Trump supporters attacking liberals, I can probably find you 10 of vice versa. There have also been a huge number of hate crime hoaxes, some of them very high profile incidents, and to ignore this effect is disingenuous.
Meanwhile, you still cannot fake video documentation. Unless you're willing to argue that only conservatives carry around smart phones, there should be no bias in the ability of either side to record the violence of the other. And there is much more documentation of violence against conservatives, as I keep showing in threads like these.
It's time to stop being ignorant of the issue of liberal violence.
P.S.: I just went through the Buzzfeed article you mentioned, and actually ONLY TWO of those incidents contained any actual physical violence. So you are being disingenuous even by the dubious claims of Buzz Feed and their low standards. Think about how low you have to sink in order to be lower than Buzz Feed. Buzz Feed is not a reputable site. It is literally a clickbait site and doesn't even pretend to be anything else. And yet it doesn't even support the claim you've made by citing it.
