Fact: Right-Wing Violence More Frequent and Deadly Than Left-Wing Violence

September 17, 2025 | FlaglerLive | 17 Comments

President Donald Trump is targeting left-wing organizations he incorrectly says promote political violence.

Most domestic terrorists in the U.S. are politically on the right, and right-wing attacks account for the vast majority of fatalities from domestic terrorism. During the 2024 election cycle, nearly half of all states reported threats against election workers, including social media death threats, intimidation and doxing. Domestic violent extremism is defined by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security as violence or credible threats of violence intended to influence government policy or intimidate civilians for political or ideological purposes.

The Brunswick Corporation announced late this afternoon that it was shutting down the Boston Whaler boat manufacturing plant it had reopened in Palm Coast/Flagler Beach just four years ago, dealing a severe blow to the city’s and county’s largest manufacturer and their local economy. Brunswick is consolidating the Palm Coast plant with the manufacturing facility in Edgewater by next February.

September 17, 2025 | FlaglerLive | 7 Comments

The view from a Flagler County Sheriff’s detective’s dashcam immediately before the head-on collision as the Suburban, driving against traffic, was about to collide with the Volkswagen Beetle at the I-95 interchange with U.S. 1 Tuesday. 

Stevens Brian Charles, 40, faces a second-degree murder charge, among at least 10 felony charges, in the death of a 71-year-old Ormond Beach woman Tuesday in a head-on crash on an I-95 exit on which Charles was intentionally driving the wrong way, fleeing from Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies. Sheriff Rick Staly has ordered a top-to-bottom review of the entire incident, the agency’s chase policy, and whether all procedures were followed.

Flagler Beach Kills Backyard Chickens Proposal as Commissioner Who Suggested It Joins Opposition

September 17, 2025 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

Flagler Beach City Commissioner Rick Belhumeur, seen here on North Oceanshore Bouevard, had suggested exploring a backyard chickens program in the city, until he heard a bunch of chickens two doors down when visiting Pensacola recently. (© FlaglerLive)

Flagler Beach will not allow backyard chickens after all. Commissioner Rick Belhumeur proposed the idea in July at a constituent’s suggestion, causing the city attorney to draft an ordinance. Belhumeur wasn’t alone in killing the proposal last week (it was unanimous), but he gave it the coup de grâce.

She was not challenged.
