You do have both, for sure. The difference though between gang violence and domestic terrorism is that gang violence tends to be locational, whilst domestic terrorism can happen anywhere. Peeps can't even enjoy garlic anymore.
But it's actually rare when you take into account our population size and the number of guns we have. These shootings are sensationalized, especially if there is an ideology behind it.
There is very little chance you'll be involved in a mass shooting. Our media hypes this shit and spreads fear. We need to stop publishing these manifestos.

Also, it'd be good to have fewer of these kinds of tragedies in general, really.

What do you base this on?
Also I live in a country where a left-wing politician (Jo Cox) was assassinated in the street by a far-right extremist, so this whole rise of homespun far-right terrorism is at a stage for me where I think it needs serious discussion
Originally posted by SurturGranted. You guys generally have a domestic terrorism issue, and it does come from the far left and the far right. But from what I've seen the far right attacks tend to be considerably more lethal.
Okay but in this country the last politician shot was shot by a left wing extremist who came to a baseball field looking to shoot up republicans.
Edit: And more frequent.

They do tend to be more lethal, but right now people are ignoring the increasingly lethal methods of antifa. It's true they haven't killed anyone, but that's like if I shoot you six times and you somehow survive. Am I really better than a murderer just because you got lucky and you lived?
They have certainly done things that can lead to death, pipes to the back of heads, bike locks, etc. Repeatedly hitting people in the head with weapons. They are lucky these people live. The white supremacists are on the outside looking in, most of the country hates them. It's not the same with groups like antifa, who are seen as just "people fighting fascists" when they've in fact tried to kill innocents. And I know when they finally do kill someone the goal posts will be moved and people will say "Well the right wing still kills more".
It's like if you get shot near your heart and in the leg, you gotta take care of the more serious wound. But if the leg gets infected it's not wise to ignore it because it could lead to the situation getting worse and you could lose that leg.
