Here is the proof. People argue against the concept of stochastic terrorism because the really horrible high-level events like last Friday's shooting are pretty rare, hard to establish correlation.

But if you look at the rate of death threats, acts of vandalism, low-level assaults, that sort of thing. Here we see a trend.

The rate of death threats multiplied nine times. I think that can be considered evidence.
