The attack on Tesla proves (again) the left owns political violence
When doing a fact-based objective analysis of political violence in America, you discover that the vast, vast majority of it comes from the left. The allegation of right-wing violence tends to be speculative and theoretical, while left-wing violence is very real.
Following the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, Democrats predicted a wave of right wing violence. There would be nationwide violence on the first anniversary of the riot. To underscore that Democratic narrative, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ordered perimeter fencing and the presence of the National Guard to protect the Capitol. Less than 200 protestors – with permits – peacefully assembled. No violence on Capitol Hill or anywhere else around the country.
You will recall how the left warned that Trump supporters would attack the polling places and election workers. In Arizona, they put up barriers and even had snipers on the roof of polling centers. Not a single instance of violence. The right’s aversion to violence is not new. In the era of the so-called “Tea Party,” right-wingers repeated assembled, demonstrated and protested legally – and never any violence.
Over and over, the left warns of right-wing violence – but the predictions fail to come to fruition. The narrative of right-wing violence is simply that – a narrative, and a bogus one. The falsehood is spread by a compliant left-wing media too eager to legitimize the Democrats’ fearmongering politically motivated propaganda.
They say that Trump and others criticizing judges pose a POTENTIAL threat to the lives of jurists. Yet, who is the only justice to has been harassed by illegal mobs at his home and the target of an actual assassination attempt (to which the culprit recently pleaded guilty). In case you do not know, it was conservative Republican Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
No presidential candidate or President has suffered an actual assassination attempt since conservative Republican President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. That is, until Trump was winged by a bullet last summer – an attempt that resulted in the death of a young father. Later in the campaign, a second would-be assassin was stopped within minutes of a clear shot at Trump.
In recent times, we have seen right-wing push back against woke policies. When they put transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on the Bud Lite beer can, those on the right showed their contempt on the Internet and they stopped buying Bud. BUT no one vandalized the Anheuser Busch headquarters. Budweiser delivery trucks were not attacked. No one trashed Bud displays in retail stores.
Recently, Disney released a woke version of Snow White that was offensive to some on the right. The right protested by not purchasing tickets — and the movie suffered one of the worst opening weeks in Disney history. But there was no attack on Disney property. No vandalism of theaters showing the movie.
That is not how the left deals with protests. We are currently witnessing a massive wave of violent political terrorism targeting Elon Musk, the Tesla corporation and individual Tesla owners. Molotov cocktails are being used to torch Tesla facilities. Privately owned Tesla vehicles are being damaged and destroyed. Owners are being accosted and assaulted by angry individuals and mops. (There is an irony in that since most Tesla vehicles have been purchased by folks of the more liberal bent, according to industry reports.)
Violence that has occurred on College campuses has always been the result of left-wing activists and organizations. The vandalism and antisemitism we have been witnessing at Columbia University — to name one — is left-wing intimidation, vandalism and terrorism.
Such violence is in the left-wing DNA. In addition to organized violence, Individual zombies rise to commit personal acts of violence as soon as the politicians, media and influencers say “take to the streets.
But even worse, the hierarchy of the left – the leaders of the Democratic Party – promotes and encourages violence. The minimize left-wing violence. The lack of condemnation over the attacks on Tesla is all you need to know.
Democrat politicians have long been tolerant and forgiving of acts of political violence. Vice President Harris raised bail money to get violent rioters out of jail. More recently, radical left-wing Congressman Jamie Raskin said that the violent attacks on Tesla are “understandable.” Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz cheered the decline in Tesla stock as a result of the violent attacks.
Yes, there have been instances of lone wolves on both sides. On the right, there was the tragic shooting at Mother Emmanuel Church. Also, the man who drove his car into the mob in Charlottsville – killing a young female protester. On the left, we have had the assassination of police officers … the torching of the GOP state headquarters in New Mexico over immigration policy … the recent killing of a Walgreen’s clerk over anger at the pharmaceutical industry … and the gunning down of the United Healthcare CEO. A TikTok user recently called for people to shoot ICE officers on sight.
The long history of violent protest makes it perfectly clear which side of the political and philosophic divide produces the preponderance of violence. It is virtually always those identified with the Democrat base who do the rioting, arson, looting, and vandalism. Take the hundreds of violent race riots since the 1960s, and it is almost impossible to find conservative Republicans committing the violence.
Organizations such as Black Lives Matter, Antifa and other groups have committed major acts of violence throughout America. They have violently “occupied” and disrupted major cities. These are the groups who have been praised, coddled and financed by left-wing politicians and organizations for decades. Democrat mayors and prosecutors have empowered those committing violence by the lack of law enforcement and prosecution.
Over the course of the past 8-plus years, Trump has held scores of emotionally charged rallies with tens of thousands of MAGA supporters – and virtually no incidents of violence (excluding the assassination attempt, of course).
If you look at the big picture of political violence in America, the riot on Capitol Hill was an outlier. On the other hand, the chronic political violence is iconic on the left.
So, there ‘tis.
Hmm, the dementia worsens. Larry’s selective memory indicates that he really should not be given a typewriter to pen his diatribes against the left. At least he did not forget about January 6, one of the worst instances of violence in the US, which was unnecessarily caused by the fool he voted for President in 2024. And from his comments you would be justified to think that somehow Walz was praising the violence to Tesla causing a decline in Tesla stock. Wrong on both counts-Walz did not condone violence and the decline in Tesla stock is not due to violence at Tesla dealerships, but rather to musk alienating the bulk of the people who buy teslas due to his words and actions in the trump regime. And Larry very conveniently left out the myriad of attacks on abortion clinics (and the killing of abortion providers) in the days before the SC overturned established precedent and allowed some states to return to the dark ages before RvW. And obviously Larry conveniently forgot the murder of Esther Salas (NJ federal judge) son when he answered the door-done by an anti-feminist shooter who expected the judge to answer the door. Obviously, to anyone who regularly reads windbag post, Larry is a senile fool who blames the left for his lifetime of failure…
Dude, snowflakes gotta whine….. How’s the Ukraine war going? Over yet? First he said it would take 24-hours and be done before inauguration. Now he says he was just fooling (to get your vote). Then, six months. But now — it’s open as Trump says: “I think that Russia wants to see an end to it, but it could be they’re dragging their feet. I’ve done it over the years.” You betcha.
Dude, snowflakes gotta whine….. Of course you don’t see right-wing violence as prevalent as left-wing violence; one needs to look to see. You seem to be becoming more Trumpy every day. I am guessing you haven’t changed, but are expressing yourself more aggressively given your desire to support your King. Have you noticed the gold curtains, gold chairs and even a gold appliques below the fireplace mantle. Hail to the King of the gold shitter. Just like the Nixon gold fringed epaulets festooned on the White House guards foreshadowed his power-grab, their personal vanities denote the inner character for men who would be King. All that glitters is not gold, Don, a shitter is just a shitter although I will sheepishly admit, mine glows blue from the LED telling me the WIFI is working. I am a nerd though and somehow feel good about taking my Trump tariff profits in shitter improvements….
Like a lefty screaming for AWBans after yet another right-wing mass shooting along with vapid calls for more gun controls, Larry screams left-wing political violence rules in America with vapid calls for law and order since he can’t find right wing violence after not looking, apparently. Does not seem to have issues with the law and order followed by pardons by his King though. He further seems to constrain the field called political violence to property damage and obstruction of daily business instead of actual violence, especially death, against actual humans. Funny, he sees no political violence in Trump stopping and starting the market for his personal vanity. He sees no political violence in disappearing innocents to a foreign gulag known for “you can come in, but you will never come out” chances of survival. When called on it, the right-wing administration says ooops, we don’t need to follow no stinking judge and we can’t bring these folks back, cuz it’s harder than sending Kristy Noem down for a photo op.
Larry sees left-wing violence because he does not look at the right. Period. He does not look at violence against humans. Period.
He just listens to the words of Don and believes. Larry sees equivalence in a Tesla burning from the left and cops being battered to hell and back from the right. Typical hard-right symmetrical thinking to redefine our reality to suit his personal needs for a win-lose against the left.
He is right about the Tea Party, but where are they now in Trumpistan? Do they even have a scintilla of relevance? Fact is that the right-wing has plenty of political violence and takes the cake for violent death perpetrated on its perceived enemies. When it comes to death, you win Larry, and you avoiding that fact says a lot about what and how you reported here.
Of course you don’t see right-wing violence as prevalent as left-wing violence; one needs to look to see. You seem to be going off the deep end and becoming more Trumpy every day. I am guessing you haven’t changed, but are expressing yourself more aggressively given your King. Have you noticed the gold curtains, gold chairs and even a gold appliques below the fireplace mantle. Hail to the King of the gold shitter. Just like the Nixon gold fringed epaulets festooned on the White House guards, their personal vanities denote their inner character. All that glitters is not gold, Don, a shitter is just a shitter although I will sheepishly admit, mine glows blue from the LED telling me the WIFI is working. I am a nerd though and somehow feel good about taking my Trump tariff profits in shitter improvements….

Come on Larry, either count physical violence for political purposes or shut the whole story down.
BUSTED
I spell my name: blue light
Wow, repest myself, repeat myself. Oooos.
Probably shouldn’t do with taxes, bills, and bringing new double smart oven online.
Dude, snowflakes just wanna, gotta whine….. Of course you don’t see right-wing violence as prevalent as left-wing violence; one needs to look to see, but you are blinded by the light.
“When doing a fact-based objective analysis of political violence in America, you discover that the vast, vast majority of it comes from the left.” Of course, it depends on your definition of political violence: I am using DEATH as a good example of violence. I think yours is burning Tesla’s. How you can compare death with an attack on a Tesla is beyond me. How you can examine the aftermath of 1/6/2021 with 1/6/2021 is beyond me.
You know what they say: “burn your Tesla before it burns you.” Ask that guy in Vegas. He got burned by a Tesla. From the WWW, *https://www.tesla-fire.com/* Oh man, 232 instances with 83 dead. “We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning, since the Tesla’s been turning.” That’s just fuckin-a-funny Scooter.
I think we, the left that is, are actually in the clear on this until we catch up to you for 1/6/2021.
I think we are actually in the clear for the PA Trump assassination attempt given he was a Republican, albeit not a strong supporter. Amazingly, while the House investigation turned up many process faults, there is little info on the motive beyond mental distress. The only medical information on Trump’s injuries came from his own doctor. Why is that no hospital doctors were allowed to talk? Self-inflicted injuries? No injuries? Not really Trump? We don’t know if wounds might have been self-inflicted, or non-existent for that matter. One thing is clear: the bullets were fired from the right-wing.
A dozen Budweiser plants faced bomb threats costing thousands and jeopardizing citizens and law keepers both. Two Canadians were physically attacked when buying Bud.
In late May 2023, several Target stores across the country were vandalized by far-right activists. On June 10, 2023, several bomb threats were made against Target in multiple states by an individual who accused Target of having “betrayed the LGBT community”, causing several evacuations.
Don’t even get me started on Disney, it’s just goofy.
Point is if you don’t look, you can’t see. And if you only look to the left, all you will see is one side of the story.
I think we are actually in the clear on this as you are disappearing innocents to a El Salvadorian prison to die, most likely. How did you count that one? How many will off themselves after being summarily fired just for being a probationary worker? How many over loss of benefits?
Sovereign citizens are primarily a right-wing chimera. Sovereign citizens, antisemites (of the old style, not those against Israel, the state’s, Palestinian policies), and white supremacist are primarily of the right-wing. Here’s some of their murders:
Here are the ADL’s deadliest days given to the US of A from the right-wing. 1995/168 dead, Oklahoma City bombing. 2015/28, San Bernadino Chattanooga, Charlestown shootings. 2016/49, Orlando nightclub shooting. 2018/28, Pittsburgh shooting rampage. 2019/23, El Paso Walmart shooting. Put that up against burning some Tesla’s or shops. As always, arrest, convict, and punish all lawbreakers. But from 2014 to 2024, 3 out of 4 extremist deaths come from the right-wing.
According to ADL, from 71-80, the right-wing was tamer than the left: 1/21 deaths. Then the worm turned: 81-90: 6/5. 91-00: 15/1. 01-10:25/2. 11/20: 14/10. And 21-current: 2/3. Total over last 50 years: 64/43.
Put that in your political violence objective fact-based pipe and smoke it.
Frank Danger … While I mostly ignore your obsessive idiocy, I had to respond to this bit of twisted trash. You prove the old adage that “figures do not lie, but liars figure.” You single out lone wolf events and totally ignore the thousands killed in riots since the 1960s. You exaggerate the January 6 riot in terms of deaths and damage — compared to dozens of worse riots. And … you include shootings that were not politically related, such as the Orlando nightclub shooting and the San Bernadino shooting, etc. And you totally ignore shootings by left-wingers. Most mass shooting are NOT politically motivated. You are just creating the false political narrative. Shame. Shame.
Larry, Before you open your mouth again (and continue to make yourself look foolish), I suggest you educate yourself on what law enforcement actually thinks about this subject (I know, education is not your strong suit, but there is a wealth of information out there). The concern that law enforcement has is not the left wing loonies (of which there definitely are some), but the right wing militias, as well as lone wolf attacks (does the name Timothy McVeigh mean anything to you?). These are the groups that keep law enforcement up at night. Yes, I agree that there are more protests by people left of center in sheer numbers, because we are less apt to be herded like sheep and listen to lies than the average right winger such as yourself, but the vast majority of these protests are peaceful, and when they do turn violent, it is usually because right wingers were there agitating things. You have written another ignorant diatribe (so who’s surprised?) that fails to look at the big picture (again, who is surprised?)
The totals are for extremist events and stand as is. I am not sure of riot deaths by either side and printed stats, noted as such.
I did not exaggerate 1/6/2021 deaths since I did not mention any, you just lied once again by saying I did as you always do.
You are right: I listed “extremists” which were touted as right-wing, however the Orlando shooter was Muslim with those extremisms. Same with San Bernadino meaning my conclusion is BUSTED.
Yes, I did not list all left wing shootings as you did not disclose ANY political violence in your fractured fairytale you call the truth.
Yup, Larry, you got me although you really didn’t have to be such a dick about it. I just read all the ADL evidence and while most were extremists, most were hard right politically, there is no causation, just a correlation that skin heads are violent basically. ADL should have specified unspecified violence by the right is NOT political violence necessarily. Like is it the State of Israel or the Jewish faith, it is often hard to determine is it white supremacism or Trumpism by these folks who espouse both.
I still believe, but have not proved that the right performs more physical violence upon humans than the left. And the left does more breakin and burnin than the right. And that Tesla’s kill more people than people kill Tesla’s, so far. But I have not proved it.
Just on the violence against property, you only list the left and still have not answered: “A dozen Budweiser plants faced bomb threats costing thousands and jeopardizing citizens and law keepers both. Two Canadians were physically attacked when buying Bud.” Seemed to leave that out of your assessment.
or
“in late May 2023, several Target stores across the country were vandalized by far-right activists.” Hey, you got a lefty supporting LBGTQ doing similar, it’s a mulligan.
You claim it’s a error to point out lone wolf actions when you mostly show lone wolf actions from only one side.
You conclude our protests are more violent than yours, but how many lefty protests do you need to come up with over 140 cop injuries that you did in one day? Just a few hours.
I can add many, many, more political acts of violence from the right that you seemingly completely overlooked to come to your biased conclusion.
This study concludes that Republicans more willing to accept violence and autocrats for leaders than Democrats. Pretty unbiased group:
*https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/10/1-in-4-republicans-pro-political-violence/75142467007/*
When looking at violence UMD’s START program has one of the best and widest databases around. They conclude that the right is much more likely to commit and accept violence than the left. Their higher need for order, structure, and cognitive closure leads to a greater acceptance of violence as a solution. Look at Trump, his words, his suggestions. Musk too. Sure, you can find fire-brand lefties too, but not at the top. Soros never said similar things to Musk. No one has said what Trump says. Even you seem to blanche at times.
*https://www.start.umd.edu/publication/comparison-political-violence-left-wing-right-wing-and-islamist-extremists-united*
“Of these three ideologies, most prior research has contrasted those committed to rightwing and left-wing causes. Much of this research suggests that compared to left-wing extremists, right-wing extremists may be more likely to engage in politically motivated violence. In comparison to left-wing supporters, right-wing individuals are more often characterized by
closed-mindedness and dogmatism and heightened need for order, structure, and cognitive closure.”
These guy are very much to the left in bias, but cherry-picked a conclusion with a lot of relevance.
*https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/whats_driving_political_violence_in_america*
“When it comes to violence, leadership matters. There are many, many studies—starting with Stanley Milgram’s classic electric-shock experiments—which show that people are much more likely to inflict pain on others when an authority figure tells them to. When leaders engage in violent rhetoric, so do their followers; when they urge calm, people do calm down. Research has documented that words do have an impact on both beliefs and behaviors.” IT will be wild.
There’s some facts to chew on, some experts to discredit, but it appears you stand pretty much alone in your expert view on this. Like Navarro on the economy……which you probably support too…..
HAGD.
And yes, I was BUSTED on that earlier one. My apologies, doubled, in that I should have seen it.
At last Larry has been heard from with “Leave a Reply”.
We know Larry is the author of the Reply given that Frank Danger, Larry’s long time nemesis, is his target once more.
And, Larry’s signature opening salvo is seen when he intimates that he rarely, if ever, reads Frank’s comments. But, with Frank’s comments on the 4/12/2025 article from Larry. Mr. Horist could not not re-comment on Frank’s assertions about the right wingers not being the innocents in angry protests. Larry, as usual, hangs the country’s dirty laundry from rioting dissidents on the political left.
Why is it that Larry’s posts, by a great majority, include some negative comments pertaining to some happening ion the Left which Larry finds appalling? The machinations he goes through in trotting out conspiracy theories concocted with designs on smearing the Left. These are preposterously done for the benefit of his tacky crowd.
Larry professed his dislike for Trump’s personal character of the man pugnacious. Of course that term does not do justice to the entire darkness that is the sum of the man himself. And, if Trump was merely pugnacious, then the Executive Orders he has wrought would be fewer and more well thought out.
However, while considering the argument Frank is making related to which side has had fiercer protests in the past.
Few if any Americans knowledgeable in the social protest history in this country and losses in life and property. It’s fair to conclude that neither one can brag on their peace loving commitments made and resolve to solve issues between them.
In the past decade the country has witnessed the rise of Trump’s influence in politics and culture, At present he believes he has hold of this country by the short hairs and is controlling international commerce with
his tariffs and continued threats of dealer tariffs. If he gets what he is going for, in less than a year’s time
. The economic actions Trump has already brought to bear on this country will adversely impact the way we Americans live on every level. Trump is the hydrogen bomb that is about to lay waste to American Democracy and way of life for 80% of us and the top 20% will be lost without finding a water carriers.
Trump’s run of vengeful protest against everyone and every agency or group who he thinks oppose him and hold him accountable has cost us, is stacking up costs, and will keep adding costs. Trump’s personal financial and societal demands are violent protests against the 80%. Sadly, many of the 80%
group are promoting Trump and his protest movement.
Going back to the argument between Left and Right wings in politics. Seeing Trump is the leader in the Right Wing’s protest movement and his chaos creating distraction while
bypassing laws and court orders. It’s plain to see that the right wing is responsible to the nation for their unconstitutional wrongs perpetrated against the Left, the independents, and ( to be honest) the right themselves.
Trump’s havoc had begun for the express purpose of giving financial benefit to the 1% with tax breaks.
He is operating a reverse Robinhood money taking scheme. It’s a
despicable depraved con that in the end will bankrupt the US Treasury and the economy
way long after Trump had left the building,
.
