We let them turn us into a #mobacracy. It was us that compromised the uncompromising.

I also wouldn't be surprised if apples were being compared with oranges here: Conflicts in which one side attempts to employ peaceful protests (or views non-violence as a feasible alternative) are probably fundamentally different than conflicts in which at least one side views violence as the "best" option (or is totally exaspirated).
Hm. Does the research account for all the nonviolent protests that turned violent? No matter the final outcome, just about EVERY violent protest should count as a failed non-violent protest. Most protests do not go straight to violence as option the first.
