When it comes to politically and ideologically based mass shooting does the left or the right have the most shooters?


Left / right? In the US today, the authoritarianism is coming from the right. Mass shootings are almost entirely committed by alienated young men, although occasionally they are older. Such men tend to align themselves with the extreme right-wing as we saw on January 6, 2021.
In the US there have been assassinations committed by deranged anarchists, but no mass killings tha I can recall.
If you are talking specifically about mass shootings, that's a relatively recent thing. The first one I can recall was the University of Texas shootings with a deranged man in a tower shooting multiple students. He didn't need an AR-15 because he was in a secure location with a lot of victims below.
Yeah…apparently that’s oddly not the sentiment of the other replies
How is the authoritarianism coming from the right? Most corporate collusion with government censorship is associated with the Left. And even the attempted formation of a censorship wing of the government under the guise of “misinformation”. The vaccine mandates came from the Left. Almost entirely the gun control efforts are coming from the Left.
Aside from underage bans on drag shows and pornographic books in schools, as well as abortion restrictions, how is the authoritarianism coming from the “Right”? Not to mention, how are individual terror attacks related to an authoritarian government?
People of questionable childhoods is the tightest correlation I've found, starting with single-parent homes. I suspect more right-wing people will naturally be included since left-wing people are generally anti-guns, and we're focusing on shooters rather than stabber or bombers or rapists or child molesters, e. g.
As for why, I would start with absence of school choice.
Yeah those Colombine kids had it rough
I don’t think we can separate them into categories, whether they were in the left or right. The only category they’re in is the crazy category. Just acknowledge that they were/are evil people and the political side they are in doesn’t really have to do with anything. No leader from any party wants their followers to go in a school and viciously kill children.
Except ….. it does
What does?
That wasn’t meant for you
Right-wing extremists are more likely to engage in politically motivated violence. It has been well documented.

It seems like they are usually liberals or it is some deranged nutjob that was a democrat. Every time ot happens the media starts to licktheir chops thinking it is a Trump supporter and when it turns out the shooter is a liberal or an illegal alien all of a sudden the story gets squashed.
The recent one with the box truck with the nazi flag is a perfect example. Since the fake news has been calling President Trump a nazi since he got elected they jumped to the conclusion he was Trump supporter. They were all disappointed when it turned out he was an illegal alien. You never heard a peep about it after that
@slatyb I think this is what it was except I am sure there was a box truck and a Nazi flag. The flag still had the creases in it so it was apparent it was just taken out of the wrapping. Maybe I am thinking of another shooter.

The left obviously. But they want us to pretend it's just us whaite men doing it all. For reals these fuckers watchin NPC news thinks it really nothing but me killing everyone.
Look at all those white people though... it's really us? They can't lie about this... it is what it is and even my black friend knows this.
The only thing that’s obvious is how fucking crazy you are
lolz
globally speaking homicides committed by Democrats have been WAY higher up untill like 2012, which since then, republicans have overtaken. but the trend currently goes towards Democrats leading again.
Why can’t a single one of you actually answer this. It’s so telling
just did. sorry if you didn't like the answer but facts don't care about your feelings.
black shooters*
Most are right winged. Tbh I've only heard one been left obviously there will be more but the fact i've only one was says a lot.
plot twist: these mass shootings are all planned to brainwash people to believe guns are dangerous to take our guns away
Yeah guns aren’t dangerous at all…oh wait lemme guess “ no people are dangerous” right?
we should ban everything, cause you can kill people wjth anything 😂
A mass shooting is defined as 3 or more people getting shot in one particular setting.
I don't understand what exactly you mean what political side has more mass shooters?
I don't think there's any substantial data on that matter.
I the number is 4 not 3.
*think
It is 4 and the data and your the only one who doesn’t understand the question
*-And the data
Does the left or the right as more mass shooter?
How the hell that makes any sense? You will need actual data of every mass shooter and document their political affiliation to which I seriously doubt there's any data on that?
Except there is. This app is on something called the internet. And on the internet there’s this thing called google. If the data exists that’s where you find it? You follow?
Leftist/Democrats or their sympathizers do. I have an unstated (here) opinion why that is true. Read the names of the shooters for a hint.
You have your opinion to back you up and I have well…data
there's a mass shooting going on in Democrat cities like Chicago every week
I know that’s why I specified. To avoid answers like yours. But i guess you couldn’t help it
I have lost track of all the mass shooters in the USA, i don't tend to take much notice of them, except the incels.
You notice intels before mass shootings? Kinda weird bro
You spelt incels wrong love and why shouldn't i.
I think this is a very deep wound in America that far transcends political sides.
Not the question.
Most aren’t politically motivated. That’s a recent trend. While there has been some radical leftist attacks more recently I think the overall number may be more right wing. But they also have a broader definition of what constitutes “right wing”.
Mass shooters tend to vote democrat, because democrats save their live.
And that’s the question I asked.
Is it really a contest?
Most mass shooters don't have political ideology as a motive.
That’s cute that you believe that
No it's actually a fact. Most are disenchanted angry people. The guy in Las Vegas left no indication of motive other than a sense that the casino screwed him (which is a sense that most everyone who plays in Vegas gets). The one in my town was a bitter vet. Most school shootings are alienated students. You are only seeing what you want to see.
You don’t need parenthesis if your speaking directly to me. Your already addressing me and your not writing a novel. So you think from your personal experience and a whopping 2 examples, one of which is wrong, is enough to transcend your non informed opinion into fact? You obviously don’t have the data to back your claim up so you deflect your delusion onto me.
There are hundreds of such examples. There are exactly two counter examples I can think of offhand - the Buffalo shooter and the church-in-South Carolina shooter. You provided exactly zero examples to support your claim; and yes, YOU are the one who are making an unsubstantiated claim by implying that most mass shooters have some political motivation. I obviously don't have room here to list every example of those that don't.
I made a claim?
The right obviously... but they all are assholes.
I never gave that much thought but these are strange and dangerous times
The left. In part because they want to frame the Right by pretending to be Right leaning.
almost all of those vote independent.
And that’s the question. Except it wasn’t
You posted all them black faces. This is racially motivated
Right. They think they are right to do so.
I think the left has the most shooters.
As wrong as that answer is thank you for actually answering the question
I'm not certain what the statistics are but we've became too touchy of a Nation we're afraid that we're going to hurt somebody's feelings but yet we've got to give other people right to express their feelings also. But those on the opposite and of the spectrum must also grant that same as they are asking for. We cannot be so one-sided. We all are children of God and we must respect that we are all different.
Just had to rattle some chains. But the left has the most destructive group of people that's the woke and after group of rebellious people.
Most of us that are on the right have weapons to protect us from stupidity we teach our children proper uses of weapons.
The shootings in Tennessee was caused by awoke person.
Ummm…no
Obviously the left wing crazies.
The right obviously.
Judging by these answers it’s not as obvious as they think
The left.
