The article YOU picked even states that killings are volatile and should NOT be taken as indicative of a trend.

the researcher warned you not to jump to conclusions based on outliers. yet that is exactly what you did .
Yup, I cherry picked the fact that SINCE 2016 the left has killed more then the right. Very odd the same year DJT became President for this sudden turn. Oh wait, sorry, killings are volatile. No trend there. Because the author said it.

comments from a former bomb disposal tech:

1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.
2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking.
3. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?"

4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."

Were these packages intercepted at the post offices, or at the addresses?

I think all but Sorros, whose deserved package was delivered and caught by his private security, have a team of security paid for by tax payers who intercepted the packages before final delivery.

I never credited Democrats being that smart so close to the election...

Yeah the only thing more comical would have been a wad of road flares taped together with an old-fashioned alarm clock attached with coiled wires.
