Yes, I know there was Tim McVeigh and the George Tiller killing, but overall it seems there is much more violence from the political left, and many on the left believe violence is a just response to real or perceived oppression. Here is just one example, one of the protestors in the St. Louis area who ransacked a neighborhood in response to the police shooting. Watch the Democrat in this video justify his actions and the actions of the other violent protestors.
Every single Occupy event, World Bank protest, IMF protest and WTO protest involves cops being attacked, smashed windows, and burning cars. Internationally, most of the pro-Palestinian movement that is not Muslim comes from the liberal left, and they sympathize with Hamas and their suicide bombings and rocket attacks. Liberal violence has a long history. Even today, Obama's mentor Bill Ayers refused to denounce his terrorist actions. Terrorist groups like the Weather Underground were very influential during the Vietnam War years.
Now I agree the cops that beat Rodney King should not have been acquitted. However what happened in that courtroom DOES NOT justify the protestors in Los Angeles shooting innocent people and smashing the properties of business owners. I am a tea party activist who has been to many protests. Neither myself nor anyone has ever engaged in violence at these events. Nobody made any violent threats. Even in once instance where some of my friends in Maryland blocked a bus carrying illegal aliens to a small town, there was no violence involved. NO police were attacked and no property was destroyed.
Why is it that the left believes violence is justified? Everyone agrees its wrong when sports fans trash a city after a game. Why is political violence seen as more acceptable?

Because the left claims intent matters, not outcome.

And when you cant use facts because the facts are against you you have to just force..
Which is funny because they claim the right is violent which out side of one or two actions leftist terrorism was and is a far greater danger. Funny note look how left wing terrorism over the world and in America disappeared when the USSR was not around to fund them.
Who cares? Liberals can't really commit violence unless they have blacks and latinos on their side. Your average liberal does not own a firearm and could not throw a rock 20 feet.
Does it matter?
The fact of the matter is that they do support activist protests, which inevitably result in violence.
It's always been this way and likely to continue.
It's a great Intimidation Factor. Do what we want or you will get a Riot - complete with Looting & Burning.

There's a reason these riots don't happen in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon...
Because we all own guns and would shoot the @#$@#$ who dared try to pull off that crap.
Many a gun owner stop things from getting worse funny how the media does not report this, is it not?
