On 07 Nov 2022, Mike Powell said the following...
 MP> JT> That is relatively recent, historically speaking. But we have national
 MP> JT> elections every two years, so you shouldn't have to wait long.
 MP> Since we are talking this election cycle, I might be missing some but,
 MP> the ones I know about score as follows:
 MP> Attacks against Democrat politicians/supporters: 2
 MP> Attacks against Republican politicians/supporters: 3
 MP> The first one is the Pelosi incident.  That guy was crazy and, per his
 MP> neighbors, I am not 100% that he didn't just dislike politicians in
 MP> general.
 MP> The second one happened a few months ago and was against a (D) candidate
 MP> (I think) in Louisville.  He was attacked by a young black male who,
 MP> from what I remember, was also mentally unstable.  I don't live there
 MP> and am having trouble telling the candidates apart (since neither is an
 MP> incumbent) so I could be wrong about the party on this one.
 MP> The other three include suspicious packages containing an unknown powder
 MP> sent to the campaign headquarters of an (R) candidate in AZ, the attack
 MP> of the (R) candidate for governor in NY and, more recently, the attack
 MP> of a supporter of that same (R) candidate.
 MP> That last one happened at an event that was for Houchul (D) so maybe they
 MP> said something that started it.
