"[r]ight-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks/year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities", they say in the op-ed. 4/n

God damn it, disregard. I was reading 254 as per year, not total. Never mind, my point does not stand. 5/5

@A_P_Mason I THOUGHT that was the problem! But I was assuming a claim of 254 fatalities per year, not total.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason 254/3370 = 0.075, which is close to the fatality rate for the 'unaffiliated' category in the table, which is ~80% of the total.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason But that's the 'random nut' category. "in most cases...spontaneous beatings of minorities or vandalism of facilities."1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason So the takeaway is you get 254 deaths if you count every freak who shoots someone and carves a swastika into their forehead?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@A_P_Mason Actually it's totally unclear where 254 is coming from. '254' only appears in the report as a footnote tag.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason 3354 unaffiliated x 0.08 = 268 fatalities! None of this makes any sense.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@A_P_Mason It doesn't say! So frustrating!

@gattsuru@A_P_Mason Good point, but yeah, it doesn't get you anywhere. It's seriously a mess.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
