It's a Yankee Problem: Right-Wing Terrorism is not an Issue in the South

It's a common claim nowadays to state that right-wing terrorism is more of a problem than Islamic terrorism in the United States. While the death toll of Muslim-led terrorism is higher than right wing (94 vs. 50), there have been more incidences of right-wing terrorism than left wing or Jihadi. The US Gov claims that 73% of all domestic terrorism incidences come from right-wing groups/people.

There have been 22 incidences of right-wing terrorism in the United States since 2001. Of those....

3 have occurred in the South. One of those I'm skeptical of being right-wing oriented (St. John the Baptist Parish police ambush in 2011), but I think you all could speak more to it.

Dylann Roof is probably the worst of the group and he committed his act of terror in the South. And there was a shooting in Knoxville back in 2008.

The rest have been outside of the South. You would think with the way most of the country points their finger at the South as being hardcore, bigoted racists with the potential for extremism and violence that there would actually be a shred of evidence to prove it. But there's not.

Not really making any claims of causation here, but I thought it was interesting to see the lack of correlation between right-wing terrorism and what is typically seen as the haven of right-wing extremism.
