> Stewart Baker, an attorney at the Washington, D.C. office of Steptoe & Johnson LLP and a former assistant secretary of policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said the BlueLeaks data is unlikely to shed much light on police misconduct, but could expose sensitive law enforcement investigations and even endanger lives.

far-right extremist terrorism greatly outranked radical wahabbi/salafists and similar in 2018/2019, domestically, in the USA:

I see that first link kind of buried the lede in footnote 2: " The number of casualties from attacks by Islamic extremists has been greater than by right-wing extremists, largely because of a few cases like Omar Mateen’s Pulse nightclub attack that killed 49 people and wounded 53 others."

So right wing terrorism is a greater threat, unless you are worried about being killed.

If you are killed it doesn't matter how many others died with you. I personally tend to be more worried about things that happen often and are widespread, than things that happen seldom and are more localized.

But if asked "Are you more worried about right wing or islamist extremists?", my answer is "Yes".

From a number point of view, you should be more worried about common crime than terrorism from any side.

From a pure numbers/statistics point of view a great deal more people die from slipping and falling or drowning in their bathtub every year than are killed by either form of terrorism in the USA.

But we still should take efforts to reduce that, whether it's by building showers with textured floors and efforts to counteract terrorism...

Can't access your link from the EU but fully agree with your point. I did an analysis in June 2015 in the EU, but I am sure it still holds now, by comparing the number of deaths from eurostats for just the year 2011, to all cumulative terrorist attacks in the EU from 1958 per wikipedia:

Also modern terrorism is bad but we forget that far-left and state sponsored terrorism was worse in the 80s (numbers as of 2017):

number of attacks over time: https://zbpublic.blob.core.windows.net/public/terrorism2015/...

number of deaths: https://zbpublic.blob.core.windows.net/public/terrorism2015/...

And this is in the EU. In the US I am sure the numbers would be completely drown in the numbers for common crime.
