I think jihadists are also right wingers in a way. They are religious fanatics

was Aaron Danielson, a Patriot Prayer member who was shot by Michael Reinhoehl, America's only official Antifa member, in Portland OR.

Reinoehl claimed it was self-defense; he never got a chance to make that assertion in court as he was gunned down by Federal Marshals the day after he was interviewed by Vice.

I didn't know anything about that and had to look it up. First 'hit' was a wikipedia article loaded with references.


[ ... ]
On August 29, 2020, Aaron Danielson, an American supporter of the far-right group Patriot Prayer,[1][2] was shot and killed after participating in a pro-Trump caravan which drove through Portland, Oregon, displaying banners and signs supporting President Donald Trump,[3][4] and clashing with participants in the local George Floyd protests.[3][5]

On September 3, 2020, Danielson's suspected killer, Michael Reinoehl, an American far-left[6][7] anti-fascist activist[4] and antifa supporter,[3][8] was shot and killed by a federally led fugitive task force near Lacey, Washington.[9][10] President Donald Trump commended the U.S. Marshals for shooting Reinoehl,[11] described his death as "retribution",[12][13][14] and claimed to have personally "sent in" the U.S. Marshals to "get" Reinoehl during the first presidential debate with Joe Biden.[15] Reinoehl had admitted to killing Danielson in an interview shortly before his death, but claimed it was self-defense,[16] however, according to police, Reinoehl had followed and targeted Danielson.[17] Danielson's killing was the first time in over 26 years that a self-identified anti-fascist activist had been charged with homicide.

If you could somehow slot the parade terrorist in the "far left wing" camp, you'd double the number of terrorist attacks from that quarter. If you slot him where he belongs, in the "far right wing" camp, he increases their number by less than 1%.

Now, I suppose from a remote enough observation point, say 1 million terrorist attacks, the difference between 112 and 1 is insignificant; neither number would be all that big. But we're not dealing with numbers that big. Yet.
