It's not just the shellacking last Nov. 8th. Pulling things like this out is a reason for their butthurt.

The report, “Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2016,” provides an annual snapshot of extremist violence from ADL’s Center on Extremism. The fatalities reported last year include 49 people killed in the June 2016 shooting spree at the Pulse nightclub by terrorist Omar Mateen, who pledged allegiance to ISIS and referred to the Boston Marathon bombers during the attack. That attack alone was the deadliest domestic terrorist incident since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and overshadowed all other extremist acts.
“In a country as large as the United States, no one extremist group or movement has a monopoly on violence,” said Oren Segal, Director of ADL’s Center on Extremism. “It is clear from the trends that we cannot ignore one threat of extremism over another. Extremists come in many forms and extremist violence, whether inspired by ISIS or carried out in the name of white supremacy, is still very much a serious threat.”
Notwithstanding the horrific Pulse attack, 2016 might have been considered a “mild” year for extremist-related deaths. There were only 11 lethal incidents in the U.S. in 2016 that can be connected to extremism, compared to 29 incidents in 2015, according to ADL’s research. Pulse was the only deadly incident connected to Islamic extremism in 2016.
“The growth in the number of extremist-related deaths is troubling and can be attributed largely to the ongoing serious dangers posed by domestic Islamic extremists and right-wing extremists alike, as well as an apparent new threat emerging from a resurgence of black nationalist violence,” added Mark Pitcavage, Senior Research Fellow in ADL’s Center on Extremism.
- ADL’s research points to several significant trends:
From 2007 to 2016, a range of domestic extremists of all kinds were responsible for the deaths of at least 372 people in the United States. Seventy-four percent of these murders came at the hands of right-wing extremists such as white supremacists, sovereign citizens and militia adherents.
- For the first time in more than 30 years, right-wing extremists were not responsible for the most extremist-related killings in the U.S. White supremacists and anti-government extremists committed a comparatively low number of murders in 2016, but at the same time were responsible for a high amount of non-violent activity, much of it tied to the presidential election.
- Very troubling were two murder sprees targeting police officers that were conducted by people with connections to black nationalism. These attacks, in Dallas and Baton Rouge, which killed five and three people respectively, deliberately targeted police officers for murder as acts of retaliation for earlier controversial police shootings.
Mecico has probably been responible for more dead Americans than all acts of trrrorism of any kind ever combined but no mention of that either.
Those right wing terrorists kill all those folks in Chicago every weekend.
“What right wing terrorism?”
Did you forget that Jerry Falwell, Paul Crouch, and Oral Roberts were flying those planes on 9/11?
I would invite Ms Kearns to put a Trump bumper sticker on her 1994 Volvo, or wear a Trump hat to her next faculty meeting.
Airdrop this sorry excuse into Syria.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Ohio_State_University_attack
On November 28, 2016, a terrorist vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack occurred at 9:52 a.m. EST at Ohio State University (OSU)’s Watts Hall in Columbus, Ohio. The attacker, Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan, was shot and killed by the first responding OSU police officer, and 13 people were hospitalized for injuries.
Lies by omission are damned lies. The attacker was killed. Gee he was unsuccessful in killing the kufir, merely wounding them, possibly for life. So let’s pretend there was no attack.
She is completely FOS.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with reading while on the toilet.
My figures show, over 2003-2017:
White Racist 66
Extreme Right 29
Other 68
Extreme Left 136
Radical Islam 107
Black Militant 28
There are some crazy people in avery large group; but, it’s the extreme left you have to watch out for.
Maybe including this professor.
It was alteration.
I doubt that her research went any deeper/derper than the twitter talking point.
Hoping the “professor” goes to a m*slim country on vacation and sees for herself the wonderful, kind welcome that she receives from those tolerant, loving, gentle people.
It's not just the shellacking last Nov. 8th. Pulling things like this out is a reason for their butthurt.
this pro-stressor obviously never had a statistics course or reads the headlines and her students should have asked for a refund.
The Left always seeks to enforce more laws on behavior, limiting freedom of action and speech. At the end of the left’s political spectrum is totalitarianism. The Right is always seeking freedom from the government and its control. At the end of the Right political spectrum is anarchy.
So which has killed more and terrorized more, totalitarians or anarchists? It totalitarians by millions of people.
Useful idiot
Communists and ISIS are the enemy
Well, if the NRA were the violent terror cell they like to think it is, they would know it!
Agreed...
Well...Off I go to investigate her relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery....
Guess you wouldn’t want to plan on learning anything in one of her classes.
