Left Wing More Organized And Militant Than Ever

Wendt agreed. He said he had recently noticed a different approach to the car arsons in Berlin. In the past, it felt like while some of the arsons were politically motivated, others could have been the result of copycats or teenage pranks. Wendt said that now, "unlike in earlier years, these vehicles are being specifically targeted. Before the event, there's been some intensive planning and research." For instance, the police cars recently set on fire were locked up on private property.
Arsonists have also targeted DHL courier company vehicles because of their connections to the German military and cars belonging to national railway Deutsche Bahn because of their involvement in the transport of nuclear waste.
And, as the Berliner Morgenpost reported, auto arsons went up during the recent "Action Weeks," in June when pamphlets had been circulating telling left-wing activists to protest against gentrification, to "disturb the neo-liberal order" and "take back the city." -

Now, why haven't we heard anything about this from our media? It's only "right wing extremists," "right wing militias." Even average people standing up for themselves at Tea Parties and townhall meetings are demonized for their conservativism.

But nothing about this "renaisance of Left-Wing terror."
Amazing. -

To the person who mentioned PETA: while I think PETA is completely bonkers, they've never blown up a building or killed anyone (that I know of), while Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building and killed over a hundred people, including little kids. Anyway bottom line is that extremism from any political ideology is bad. For all of us.
