Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause. Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause. As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

When the left riots* the question is "what's wrong with the left?" When the right riots* the question is "what's wrong with the country?" *What constitutes a "riot" can also be wildly different. We're moral panicking over sings at left wing protests as right wing thugs fight cops.

Hahahahaha. Nice typo there Brought visions of huge crowds driving police mad with nursery rhymes (But totally agree with you.)
