And the patriot John Adams defended the British soldiers who shot those patriots, or, if your prefer, those brick-throwing, law-breaking members of a mob, because they were that also.

While I am no relativist, I do wish to point out that no one in the Minneapolis crowd was throwing bricks at the driver before he ran over people, and that the perception of mob or demonstrators for a just cause, anarchists or patriots, depends somewhat on who writes the history books, and whose ox is being gored.

Oh, so now the guy in Minneapolis was driving a tank? More ridiculous moral equivalence.
