However, comparing this act to others is entirely relevant, if only to show that the left doesn't have any standards. Either protests can be rowdy and violent or they can't. Which is it? I say they can't. That's consistent. What do you say? What does the MSM say? What do other politicians say? Show me the people who are consistent with their record on these positions, and we will be able to differentiate those with values from those who put power and ideology over anything else.

Is my condemnation of violent protest really unclear to you?  

I vehemently condemn it.  Useless loss of life is a big deal to me regardless of the political tilt of the deceased. 

Could I dream up some dystopian scenario wherein non-peaceful protest might be justified to protect our democracy or families? Maybe there is something to that, but we haven't/aren't experiencing that.

You're missing the point. I'm glad you condemn it. That seemed clear to me, and I almost inserted a caveat at that part of my post, but figured you'd get the point. If you are consistent in your response, you have values that supersede your political ideology. I'm asking you to look at the people who are not consistent, which is most of the left and the MSM.
