If you are going to present two people killed by left wing extremists - the extremists should be people actually found guilty based on the evidence presented in a court of law, whose motive was also established by the court.

What you have given is a bunch of claims about 2 crimes, only one of which even has a suspect. There have been numerous reports, and frankly, American news media is inherently partisan, a lot of it is inherently unreliable and it is not a credible basis upon which to claim facts.

Let me give you an decent (factual) example of people killed by extremism:

Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger

Who were all killed by Robert Bowers. The attack was motivated by violent antisemitism, according to the evidence presented at trial.

The trial showed he espoused white-supremacist and antisemitic beliefs, promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy theories and opposed refugee resettlement.

His online activity included Holocaust-denial and pro-Nazi statements, according to evidence presented in his federal case.

In June 2023, a federal jury found Bowers guilty on all 63 federal counts, including hate-crime charges.
