Funny thing about the "liberal we dont do violence" myth is that is just that, a myth.
Lets look at some liberal movements for a second:
Environmentalists, the tree huggers.
One of their great techniques is 'spiking' trees in forests that are slated to be harvested, in order to prevent damage to ecosystems.
If clear cutting was still a practice, this might make sense, but it is not, so spiking the selected trees to prevent logging is bullshit, since selectively harvesting trees allows for new growth, and under current regulations, there are certain size requirements for a tree to be harvested.
Now spiking a tree is basically putting large nails into the tree at the level where either a chainsaw or other machinary will be making the cut, the idea is that it will damage the saw.
However, when those blades hit those spikes, the blades have tendency to break, resulting in metal be thrown away at high velocity, which is the same thing that happens when a grenade goes off.
While some groups will put up notices they have spiked trees, a large number do not, which puts the health and lives of loggers at risk.
Yup, lets kill, blind or maim some guy doing an honest days work to feed his kids in order to save a tree.
Makes sense if these fucking dickheads are not living in houses with wood furniture, using products made from wood or wood pulp etc.
Of course, of the known Domestic Terrorist organizations currently on the DOJ watch list, about half are liberal or left leaning groups. All have a history of using violence either directly or indirectly against individuals.
In other words, violence has been a tool for right and left for centuries, so quit trying to distinguish one from the other. Both sides brought weapons to the protests, in the forms of guns, clubs or found weapons of opportunity.
I would suggest that instead of the constant left v right bullshit, everyone agree that it does not matter which side of the fence they were on, they were all wrong.
Yes, a white nationalist killed someone with his car, but that does not detract from the violence on both sides, but who cares if some left leaning idiot threw a rock or swung a club that injured a right leaning protestor.
I have yet to actually see either side in this debate on these boards admit that their pet group did not have some complicity in what the hell happened.
Oh, and by the way, when a group of Native Americans tried to get a permit to protest a statue of Andrew Jackson as well as his old plantation being a national monument, it was denied, and the ACLU refused to take the case as it was deemed unwarranted.
So, it boils down to, it is okay to protect the opinions of blacks, white nationalists etc, but not American Indians.
