This is how you waive off any legitimate criticism of a specific event -- you point to other stuff, and declare everyone wrong, so therefore, this specific event irrelevant.
Wife does something wrong, you point it out. "But Husband did this one time in the past!"
Current state of radical Islam strike you as a crappy and dangerous ideology? "But the crusades!" or better yet "Dylan roof et al"
Rioters actually assaulting and battering folks and destroying property? "But this is happening on both sides!"
Taken to the extreme, you could even justify violence against a white person because slavery using this heuristic.
Use it in context.

But you can't expect a cop to protect you on-the-spot, from a violent mob that you just fucking walked into, provoking them with the opposing colors. That's not realistic at ANY time.
I have a lot of problems with this situation.
1. It's time for all Americans understand and speak out about the Extreme Intolerance on the Left
That is happening on both sides. As long as each side continues to cry victim from the other, this will continue.
The "left" is accused of extreme intolerance, I respond by saying that that is the case on both sides.

maybe while your in this violent fantasy you could borrow Monty's trebuchet
Not fantasy, reality... I know how to use each and every weapon with precision... If someone attacks my family, they are going to be dealing with a sight they haven't seen in a long time... someone who knows how to handle themselves. The one thing you seem to forget, I may have a director's role, but I didn't exactly start off with a silver spoon in my mouth... I grew up with very little and fought my way to where I am now... unlike these snowflakes... which wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't recharge their phone.
