Yeah there might occasionally be an ultraleftist that attacks state infrastructure or whatever but assasinations haven't been in the US left's playbook for over a hundred years now. Assassination and stochastic terrorism are commonly used tools of the right though especially here in the US. It's no surprise they're being weaponized against rightists especially as their coalition fragments.

It got buried but Elias Rodriguez, member of the PSL, did shoot 2 Israeli diplomats not too long ago. Considering how much of a fringe the left occupies in America, that's not nothing.

I think he had some loose PSL association years ago, but was never a member?

Yeah that's what I remember. He only had loose association and I think they said he never turned up for anything

I just want to be cautious cause if an active party member takes an action like that, the entire org is (theoretically, not legally) liable for that.
