WASHINGTON — In the 14 years since Al Qaeda carried out attacks on New
York and the Pentagon, extremists have regularly executed smaller lethal
assaults in the United States, explaining their motives in online
manifestoes or social media rants.

" In the 14 years since Al Qaeda carried out attacks on New
York and the Pentagon,"

We don't count the 3000+ that died on 9-11?

That is like saying "other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the
play"?.

Troublesome to you that your fellow righties are better terrorists than the
Muslim terrorists, eh. "Since 9-11" is the common benchmark.

I guess you missed the note where I showed that statistically a black
person is 14 times more likely to kill a white person than the other
way around. Those are statistics from the Holder DoJ (2013 FBI UCR)
and the US census.

Statistics are a funny thing and if you want to point out anomalies,
it is easy to do.

You boys just can't deal with the fact that white right wing extremists and
crazies are the more dangerous terrorists in the USA. ?

Your reading comprehension skills are failing you again. I simply
pointed out using extremely small sample sizes will return strange
results.
Do you look at every black person as being 14 times more likely to
kill you than a white person? That is what the statistics say
If you were black, looking at other black people, the ratio is even
worse.
.
Your statistic about 48 people killed in 14 years gets lost in the
noise of ~165,000 murders.

My reading comprehension skills are fine. We don't need a statistical
analysis to show that there are more right-wing white boys committing
acts of terror, such as last week's in Charleston, than there are
Muslims committing similar acts. The results aren't strange. The
Southern Poverty Law Center keeps track of violent right-wing groups.
There are hundreds and hundreds of them in this country, with really
itchy trigger fingers. Your boys, on your side of the political fence.

The general murder stats in this country are horrific, no question about
it, but that wasn't what I was discussion. You are more than welcome to
start a thread about that so that your boys here can chime in.

Oh, and if I need help with statistics, I'll ask my wife, who took a
number of grad level stats courses and a number of Ph.D. level stats
courses. No need to consult an amateur, eh?
