All these attacks happened in just the past two years.

If you go back a little bit farther than that, then you start getting into all the attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, of course, BLM, the Summer of Love.

There is simply no comparison here.

This is not a both sides issue.

Now, that's not to say that there's never been violence in this country that was motivated by extremist right-wing beliefs, but especially in the past two years, the past five years even, the political violence has basically gone one way.

If there's any comparison to be made here to the epidemic of left-wing violence today, well, the comparison is to the epidemic of left-wing violence in the past, especially the 1970s, which has largely been memory hold.

Schools certainly don't talk about it, but it definitely happened.

In his book, Days of Rage, Brian Burrow quotes a retired police agent as saying, people have completely forgotten that in 1972, we had over 1,900 domestic bombings in the United States.

People don't want to listen to that.

They can't believe it.

One bombing now, and everyone gets excited.

In 1972, it was every day.

Buildings getting bombed, policemen getting killed.

It was commonplace.

And that's true.

From 1971 to 1972, just a one-year period, the FBI reported more than 2,500 bombings in the United States.

That averages to about five every day.

And almost all of them were committed by leftist organizations like the Weather Underground, the Black Liberation Army, the May 19th Communist Organization, and so on.

Now, what's different now is that the average left-wing attack is far more lethal.

than it was in the 1970s.
