Politically Motivated Violence is Rare in the United States It’s a tragedy nonetheless

My @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh has great post on politically motivated violence in US, its (generally low) incidence, and who does it (9/11 dominates stats; otherwise right-wing violence much more common than left-wing & other since 1975): www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/politicall...
