Love the made up liberal terms like “stochastic” this or that. Do you people realize that “stochastic” processes are random in nature?

As a term, it is usually used to describe the random distribution of data points within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean. In other words, though the individual data points are random, in aggregate, they form a pattern.

Whenever Trump identifies a particular individual as an enemy or someone who has spoken unkindly of him, threats, intimidations and even violent attacks are committed by random people. It’s a pattern.

And that’s why it’s called “stochastic violence”.
