Actually... that depends on how you look at it. There have been at least a few collateral deaths. And many of the more dramatic actions have only been fatality-free through freak luck (blowing up a laboratory next to a populated apartment building for example). I still say that at this moment in time the left-wing extremists are just plain more active that the right-wing extremists. I'm sure this will slide back the other way eventually. But for right now they do seem to be at least slightly more of a domestic threat than any other generalized group.
