There were two deaths attributed to far-right attacks. That killing was the only death last year attributed to far-left violence, the data shows. In August, a supporter of President Donald Trump was shot dead in Portland, Ore., by a suspected gunman who was a self-described antifa supporter. Pastor Kenneth Robinson stands in front of a section of Briar Creek Road Baptist Church in Charlotte that was set on fire in 2015. The incidents included the burning of a Minneapolis police precinct during protests over the death of George Floyd. Those incidents include multiple attempts by extremists to derail trains to hinder oil pipeline construction and at least seven incidents in which police and their facilities were targeted with guns, firebombs and graffiti. The 73 far-right incidents were an all-time annual high in the CSIS database, which goes back to 1994. Both far-left and far-right attacks hit groundbreaking levels in 2020, the database shows, with far-right incidents still the much larger group.
