"Left-wing violence doesn't happen, most violence is right-wing!"Some of the list above appears to be wishful thinking on someone’s part, while other items on the list are legitimate. I didn’t add links on some parts of the list either because there were eleventy-eleven articles, posts, and references I didn’t have the time to parse, or they are more recent (or big) that just about everyone has heard about them and the motivations behind them.
Far-left violence since 2016:
2016: BLM Riots
2016: Police shooting in Dallas

2020: Fatal CHAZ shootings
2020: Shooting of Aaron Danielson
2021: Unjustified Ashli Babbitt Shooting
2021: Waukesha Massacre (Looking over the info about this attack, it looks more like an attack by a mentally ill man as there doesn’t seem to be any political motivation for the perpetrator’s actions. - ed.)
2022: Far-left assassination plot on Dem mayoral candidate (I couldn’t confirm that the assailant in this case was associated with the Left. - ed.)
2022: Lee Zeldin stabbing attempt (Another incident where I couldn’t confirm the assailant’s motive or political leanings. - ed.)
2023: Tennessee Christian School (Looking over the info about this attack, this also looks more like an attack by a mentally ill man as there doesn’t seem to be any political motivation for the perpetrator’s actions. - ed.)
2023: Evergreen, CO school shooting (There was no school shooting in Evergreen, Colorado in 2023. However, there was a shooting there earlier this month. The only fatality was the shooter who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. - ed.)
2024: Butler (First Trump assassination attempt)
2024: Second assassination attempt on Trump
2024: Abundant Life Christian school shooting (femcel) (This appears to be another shooting committed by someone suffering from mental illness, in this case a 15-year old girl. Looking through numerous stories and reports I couldn’t find anything regarding a political motive. - ed.)
2024: United HealthCare CEO Murder
2025: Teslas lit on fire
2025: Murder at the Israeli embassy
2025: Josh Shapiro firebombing attempt by Hamas sympathizer (perpetrator may have voted for Trump, but only for accelerationist purposes)
2025: LA ICE Riots, and attacks on ICE officers
2025: ICE Facilities ambushed, officer shot
2025: Minnesota Lawmaker Shooting (disputed--perpetrator allegedly mildly supported Trump, but worked for several Dem governors and claimed he was contracted to kill by Tim Walz, probably just a schizo)

2025: Various attacks on GOP offices
2025: Attempted Utah news station firebombing
2025: Charlie Kirk assassination in Utah
2025: Bomb planted on Fox News Truck near Utah shooter's house.
But then there’s “hit lists” being posted by the Left of people they want murdered next.
That tells us a lot right there. If the Left says they want you dead, believe them and prepare accordingly. But don’t attribute all of the incidents of attacks and killings on the Left. Some have been committed by mentally ill persons...but that doesn’t mean they weren’t supporters of the Left.
