Outside of one-in-a-billion shots like Mangione, we're still at the discomfort level of unreliable whackadoos being the only ones to try violent direct action. Which means that instead of picking targets that would actually make an impact, they're picking personally symbolic targets that they have easy, ready access to. And they're not even hitting those targets with real success / possibly creating innocent collateral in the process.
We aren't there yet.
There's also the simple reality that the vast majority of people cannot dedicate the time and resources it takes to plan and execute the assassination of a CEO or national politician. When you're working 60 hours a week to keep food on the table for your family you don't really have a ton a of free time for relentlessly tracking and stalking your target.
I'm more worried about right wimg extremists knowing they will be pardoned. They can go after soft targets. Want to bet the supreme court will say that states can no longer file charges if the feds do? Then the feds can file charges, thepetson can admit guolt and be out the next day. Local and state politicians and activista are in the most danger.
That would most certainly up the ante for the regular folks
Watch out for Kyle Rittenhouse
What would be better(in Minecraft)?
