The difference is patriots wouldn't go into people's houses to pull them out and punish them, or ruin whole restaurants business, steal, loot, murder without cause, riot, rape and all kinds of horrendous acts... the left is doing that with the help of the police... if you support the police then you're ok with violence as that is the way police deal with many cases (mild or extreme violence), can't have security and freedom as separate things, either you have the freedom to be secure within your own means or you can be as secure as a prison inmate...
