I would say that there is a point to pointing out the knee jerk reaction that violence in these situations is "right wing". However certain elements of the right or right based groups have sanctioned such action however thinly veiled.
Having said that, they often leave behind or shout their allegiance at the top of their lungs. It doesn't help that all of the violence is against things the right are against and the left are for. Let's just say you argue that on any basis, there is the fact that there is no shortage of right wing people saying they will do exactly that if they either dont get their way, the election doesnt go their way, etc. All of the people who want to kill abortion doctors or bomb them are admittedly right wing. So...
Does it mean they are? No. Does it give us a reasonable level of plausibility that it likely is them? I think so, furthermore I feel reasonably safe assuming so.
Just my nickel
