That must be hard - the Giants game, of course.

It does have a name “Stochastic terrorism”
Yes I do think this is something the person who nobody wants to call out for his behavior is responsible for
Back in 2011, an anonymous writer coined the term “stochastic terrorism” to refer to “the use of mass communication to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable,” or, in other words “remote control terror by lone wolf.”

I didn't read the link. Yes I have heard the term - Stochastic terrorism - and there is something there, there. However it is not a Trump only event nor is it new.

There have been lone wolfs inspired by "something" for millennia to go out and kill and do something, worked up by some entity. The Boilsheviks might have known a thing or two about it (before they ate their young), or any anarchist group for the past X centuries. To Al Queda / ISIS, PLO, NAZIs, and everything in between. Black Lives Matter fostered this which ended in multiple scenarios of cops being killed.

I wouldn't trust Quartz but some of it is correct, it just blames one side

More hate crimes were carried out in the United States last year, with an uptick in incidents motivated by bias against Jews, Muslims and LGBT people, among others, according to new FBI data released Monday.

I am sure these hate crimes were equally distributed between conservative and liberal crazy perpetrators


What happened in conjunction with this Rise in theses ???
What about the rise in hate crimes before last year, and the year before that, and then again the year before that??

And no the crimes are not equally distributed between left and right crazy, it ebbs and flows, depending on many factors including when the pot is stirred by bad (or misguided) actors on either side.
