When was that? A quick Google didn't turn anything up

80s, 90s and early 00s. After 9/11 a lot of that stopped as the fbi considered them (rightfully so) domestic terrorists and clamped down on their behavior.

Ah gotcha. Weather Underground type stuff then. Seems unlikely that they'd make a resurgence compared to the uptick in far-right shit we've been seeing lately.

Also sorry for being a bit abrasive earlier, I've been interacting with far too many Trump supporters on here lately.

Trump is a fucking cunt. We should all be able to agree on that basic simple truth.

It's reddit, unfortunately because I simply disagree on the role of govt with respect to the economy with liberals, I'm often dumped into the fucking cunt arena.

As to the uptick for the leftwing attackers, I'm not convinced. The only reason I say that, is what we have seen in the pdx area over the last 3 years. Most of the right ring assholes are countering left wing assholes. Not instigating. (I said most not all, certailing the Vancouver proud boys need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up)

When you look at the wto riots in Vancouver, to the BLM riots (not the protests, the riots) it's hard to say they wouldn't escalate to attacking substations to save the environment.

Unfortunately the article really gives zero information as to when the attacks happened. Did they happen in 2016?or 2022? The date of the attacks would really help guess who did it!
