Anyone else consider the differences in the response between the right and the left to acts of violence perpetrated by people in their political wing?
the right: he's not one of us, must be a leftist or some other
the left: he didn't actually do it and if he did, it wasn't his fault
the right refuses to accept the behavior aligns with their belief set and can't accept the reality that violence occurs on the right. the left refuses to believe that the perp committed the act and then ascribes responsibility elsewhere if proven wrong.

I think the left and right use both interchangeably.
I do notice the right leans more towards "false flag" and the left leans towards "lone wolf/wasn't representing the group".
