In this post I'll go case by case through 19 alleged right-wing extremist incidents listed in ADL's recent extremist report (yes, you have correctly noticed that I added right-wing at the beginning of sentence, and this is due to the fact that ADL themselves say so in the document, despite pretending to be unbiased). You are free to fact check it for yourself, relevant pages in the PDF document are 27-30, rest is describing methodology and pretending to be academic writing. LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMBBBBBLLLEEEEEEE!!!
Denver, Colorado - Lyndon McLeod killed five people. McLeod was follower of "manosphere" and the motive might've been revenge fantasy for victims. This was their most emphasized case, however if you go to their source you see no mention of politics at all, they just mention he used phrases like alpha, beta and sigma, but murders were clearly apolitical.
Hoschton, Georgia - Perpetrator Jessica Worsham was a "sovereign citizen" and she killed police officer because her landlord called police to evict her from her home. Also apolitical.
Tecumseh, Oklahoma - Perpetrator Braedon Chesser killed his wife in domestic violence incident then killed himself, but was member of Sons of Liberty, a small anti-government militia, so clearly he was motivated by his right-wing anti-government ideology.
Lufkin, Texas - Perpetrator Jason Heyer Neumann was arrested for murder of William Wade Pierce, and was member of Aryan Circle, so it was racially motivated murder or something, right? Careful fact-checker through the power of search engines can easily find that William Wade Pierce was a white man, and murder is therefore apolitical.
Cumberland, Maryland - Jeffrey Allen Burnham for seemingly unknown reason killed friend of his mother then next day killed his brother and his brother's wife. He subscribed to antivax conspiracy theories. If covid doesn't kill you, Jeffrey Allen Burnham will finish the job lol
Piano, Texas Imran Ali Rasheed killed a Lyft driver and stole his car. He MAY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. Al-Qaeda weaponizes gig economy services against red-blooded American patriots now!
South Haven, Michigan - Aidan Ingalls opened fire at a married couple, and the attack was random, as admitted by ADL themselves. However, he had swastika on his gun and he had some drawings of Klansman at home, so attack was clearly politically motivated.
Daytona Beach, Florida - Perpetrator Othal Wallace, a black man, killed policeman who approached his vehicle. Wallace was member of New Black Panther Party. Clearly motivated by right wing extremism! Cop shouldn't have relaxed tho.
San Ysidro, California - Qanon conspiratard Matthew Taylor Coleman drove two infants across the border into Mexico and killed them. Based, something needs to be done about the Infant Question.
Vorhees Township, New Jersey - Shawn Lichtfuss strangled his wife, has a white supremacist past of spraying graffiti on synagogue. Let's examine this white supremacist past however, did he do it out of clear ideological antisemitic motivation, or was it just "Hey Rabbi, whatcha doin'?" moment? Neither actually, because according to police report he commited this egregious crime because he "wanted to be arrested because he had problems living and wanted to be in a little more controlled environment".
Winthrop, Massachusetts - Nathan Allen drove a car into building, then started shooting at black people and allegedly bypassing white people, killing two black people in the process. One might even argue this is single legit case, but it's clear that perpetrator has mental issues.
Parkersburg, West Virginia - Victor Lee Thompson, Odinist with POSSIBLE connections to white supremacist prison gangs, killed a black guy over a drug dispute. Realpolitik in action.
Albany, New York - Natural Wise Joseph, a sovereign citizen, killed a dude. No details, no motives.
Springfield, Missouri - Two members of white supremacist prison gang Southwest Honkeys killed a member of another white supremacist prison gang Family Values.
Albuquerque, New Mexico - Four New Mexico Aryan Brotherhood were shooting themselves.
Venice, Florida - Stephen Havrilka killed a female hotel worker AND had 14/88 tat on his chest, again clearly motivated by his politics. Nazism is when you kill hotel workers indeed.
Fresno, California - Brandon Engelman killed a man with whom he had long feud. He was also a member of white supremacist street gang called Fresnecks, so also another politically motivated attack. /s
Washington, D.C. - Noah Green, a follower of Louis Farrakhan and NOI (wasn't a member though!), rammed a car into two capitol police officers.
Fort Wayne, Indiana - Joseph “Doc” Rose killed a man at hotel over internet argument, and had nazi tats. Look, I may have heated arguments with you guys, but I never had a desire to murder anyone over it.
That's it for this episode, tune in next year for more!
