66. Not really, there are 20 current prosecutions of BLM vehicle attacks...

Nov 2021

...I don't know of any of them, virtually all right wingers, being discussed here. Charlottesville is the only one, maybe brought up once in a blue moon. There were over 100 BLM protester attacks with vehicles. Most are not prosecutable because people don't die and the drivers claim riot induced fear for their life and such.
