Updated list of politically motivated leftist violence this election year

Reddit

There are many more. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me round out the list (or fix inaccuracies.) Would also like to use each victim’s name.

It really is worth providing a counter to the prevailing narrative that there has been a lopsided wave of right-wing, politically-motivated violence this year. In reality, the vast majority of folks on both sides are peaceful, but if we were forced to decide, the violent left is responsible for a greater number of vicious documented attacks than the right.

Maybe seeing this list will encourage the average leftist to reconsider whether the (so far, mostly alleged, not documented) instances of post-election violence they are seeing really should be ascribed to the average Trump supporter or to the President-elect himself.

Would they like if we did the same to them?

Also this article lists some of the false or misunderstood post-election accusations against Trump supporters: http://reason.com/blog/2016/11/11/election-night-hijab-attack-false

We are seeking unity through truth, not retaliatory violence.
