Right Wing Violence.

Always the worst. And always, given the state of most institutions and republics, are allowed to get off Scott free. Witness the deaths of BLM leaders in the US (and no investigation even) back in 2015 or so as well as the 2020 broad day killing of someone who dared to defend himself against MAGA crazies in Portland. So it goes that even post WWII someone who dared to heckle Belgian Royalty was duly killed and the killers never found:

On 11 August 1950 Baudouin took the constitutional oath as regent before the united Chambers of the Belgium Parliament. During the proceedings, one of the Communist deputies present shouted "Vive la République!" ("Long Live the Republic!"). Lahaut was reported to have been the deputy responsible, though in the confusion of the moment this remains unconfirmed. A week later, on 18 August 1950, Lahaut was assassinated by two unknown gunmen outside his home in Seraing.

I came upon this after reading a post on Lumumba and reading how Belgian royalty only recently returned to the Congo, and returned his tooth (because they dug up his body, threw it in acid and kept his teeth as souvenirs). 

Crazy stuff if you ask me. Anyhow, I'll post links of other work soon enough.
