My friend they just explained why you have to go so far back. The US government went absolute psycho mode on leftists in the 1930s at the end of the propaganda-of-the-deed era, deporting and executing people willy nilly often on mere suspicion. Right wing assassins get tried by the book because they aren't an existential threat to the system, left wing assassins get their entire social milieu extra-judicially murdered.
