2019 El Paso Walmart shooting - Wikipedia
 The shooting has been described as the deadliest anti-Latino attack in recent U.S. history,[18][19][44][45] resulting in 23 deaths and 22 injuries. Twenty of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, one victim died the day after the event, another victim died two days after,[46] and a third died eight months later on April 26, 2020. Crusius has admitted to posting a manifesto, titled The Inconvenient Truth, on the online message board 8chan shortly before the shooting. The anti-Hispanic, anti-immigrant manifesto promotes the white nationalist and far-right conspiracy theory called the Great Replacement. ------------------------------ https://www.adl.org/resources/report/murder-and-extremism-united-states-2022 All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, who typically commit most such killings each year but only occasionally are responsible for all (the last time this occurred was 2012). Left-wing extremists engage in violence ranging from assaults to fire-bombings and arsons, but since the late 1980s have not often targeted people with deadly violence. The same cannot be said for domestic Islamist extremists, but deadly incidents linked to Islamist extremism have decreased significantly in the U.S. over the past five years.
In June we had a Democratic state legislator assassinated in Minnesota and another shot by a guy with a list of other victims — Kirk's shooting is hideous and awful and this rising tide of violence is terrifying, but anyone calling it one-sided is lying to you.
