All well and good to consider all violence and condemn it. But it helps to note that whatever support for violence on the left fizzled - and never was popular among elected Democrats. So they did not campaign with fists raised etc. On the right, something entirely different occurred.

So it is good to be reminded about those who did apologize for violence. But let's not exaggerate its importance.

As an older person, I remember riots from the 60s and they appear from time to time. They are always bad but they also must at least be understood. So we as a nation tried to understand the unrest in the 60s. Similarly, we must also reckon on the reasons for the unrest last year.
