You may need even more qualifiers. Violent radical environmental groups currently carry out sabotage rather than targeting those directly responsible for the faults with the system, perhaps due to personal ethics, but perhaps because because they think a lot of people would not support those more violent actions.
A pro-lifer killed the doctor George Tiller, who was one of the few to carry out late-term abortions. Here too we see someone who considers the system so broken that it allows late-term abortions, and with others grateful for the murder, but we don't talk about that as a key moment.
I think the best parallel is Charles J. Guiteau's assassination of James A. Garfield in 1881 is a moment, which was a "moment" which helped the decades-long transition from the spoils system to the civil service system. Sadly, it looks like the next administration prefers going back to patronage.
BTW, I quoted how Kaczynski did not target random people (excepting, I think, Flight 444, which his Wikipedia article says he later regarded as a mistake because it was too indiscriminate.)
