How the shit does someone not just Lee Harvey Oswald this man already? There’ve been better men killed for worse reasons.
It’s mostly right wingers who murder for political reasons. When you know deep down your worldview is a snakepit, that’s when you decide to take the law into your own hands like that.

OK so this was Interesting so I dug into it

John Wilkes Booth was part of the Know Nothing Party a left leaning party

Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist which is left leaning

Both women that shot at Gerald R Ford were part of different left leaning programs

Actually looks like most of the assissinations are done from left leaning individuals. Not that I’m taking sides on that matter just a cursory Google search

I’m not digging it back up but I’ve seen a lot of evidence that is exact opposite to what you’re concluding.
I wish you would

I don’t have time. The problem is that academics do not want to be seen as making a political statement so you have to find a particular type of source.

I’ve definitely seen and fact checked lists of terrorist acts aside their committers’ political leanings. Most of them are right wingers, in the US at least. That’s been true since at least the 80s
