    What? Hampton was assassinated.

    Hampton advocated using violence in defense of violence. He never advocated assassinations.

    I’m not saying Thompson wasn’t a killer, but they were very, very different.

      He was a threat to the ruling class regardless and although he was non violent and only advocated using the threst of violence in self defense he was still murdered violently by the state, I see his murder as a state sponsored assassination.
