Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with Kirk’s murder and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. In the aftermath of the shooting, Donald Trump and other Republican leaders have blamed “radical left” elements for the attack.
The National Institute of Justice study, which was based on research spanning three decades, represented one of the most comprehensive government assessments of domestic terrorism patterns. It found that “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.
Where the report once appeared, the justice department wrote it was “reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent executive orders”, according to 404Media, though the page is now unavailable.
But the findings align with independent research from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which analyzed 893 terrorist plots between 1994 and 2020. That study concluded: “Rightwing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994.”
In congressional testimony in 2023, Heidi Beirich, the executive vice-president of Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told lawmakers as an expert witness that “data on acts of political violence clearly shows that it is the far right that is driving terrorism in the US, including targeting and, in certain cases, murdering law enforcement”.
“That is not to say there is no violence from far-left actors,” she continued, “it is just simply not on the scale or as deadly as what is coming from far-right actors.”

@Cthulhus_call Aber
@Atheos wird uns sicher gleich wieder erklären, wie gut man hier sehen kann, wie die Linke...ah ja blubb.
Ich meine, ich erwarte schon ein Mindestmaß an Objektivität und ein Stückweit Ehrlichkeit, wenn es um die Benennung der Dinge geht. Du allerdings bedienst dich leicht durchschaubarer Mechanismen, die hier einfach nicht fruchten.
Die Meinung, Kirk zum Heiligen zu sprechen, bleibt dir unbenommen, akzeptier einfach, dass freedom of speech nicht bedeutet, einen Rechtsextremisten nicht als das zu benennen. Du darfst ihm so viel Ruhe in Frieden posts schreiben wie du möchtest. Da hindert dich niemand dran, auch nicht, deinem Mitgefühl Ausdruck zu verleihen. Es geht hier aber um die Person Charlie Kirk, was er war und wofür er stand und warum er eben ermordet wurde. Ansonsten hast du das topic nicht verstanden.
