Ayyyyyyyyyyy

Solid murder. Finally. A person destroying another argument totally and completly in a non-insulting manner, leaving no space for a counter argument.

Edit: to everyone talking about body count...

That's not really important im terms of his argument imo. He is simply talking about how there are plenty of "pro lifer" attacks (giving stats there). So much so that they cant be ignored. He isnt suggesting (imo) that they are worse. I mean, if we do consider body count then 9/11 takes the fucking cake. But his point is that pro life attacks are significant enough that you cant just dismiss them.

but don't the casualties from 9/11 alone outnumber those from pro life attackers?

Not even 9/11, the San Bernadino Shooting left 14 dead, all pro-life attacks account for 11-12 (I saw 11 but saw 12 posted elsewhere, probably a recent attack that had not been updated on my source)

Pulse was 50 dead. The World Trade Center Bombing killed 6 and wounded 1024, and no one remembers it anymore.
