Levin is worried about it too: The embrace by the far left of tactics that were previously the purview of the far right means the level of political tension in the country can only go up. “I’ve been going up and down the state of California meeting with law enforcement officials about this. I’m very concerned about it,” he said. “What we’re seeing is the democratization of extremism and the tactics of radicalism. I’ve been warning about this, and nobody gave a sh*t.”

What I'm afraid of is it's going to start spreading beyond the extremist, of both sides, and filter up to already young, immature minds.

He's "starting" to worry. As the article states, the radical leftists(which are much more numerous now than ever before....and are really mainstream) have been blowing up people and causing havoc for years, as the story states.
