But it seems everyone is ignoring that to either tie the violence to protestors or advocate for political violence at protests. Not the first time this has happened at a protest either, to my understanding.
The students protesting were just excercising their own free speech as well. Yeah, in our country Nazis allowed to say horrible hate speech. But you know what? Other people are allowed to protest that hate speech. A Nazi may have a right to say what he wants, but no one is obligated to give him a venue.
I don't support violence in political protests. But at least in this case, the protestors weren't the ones breaking and burning stuff.

Exactly! The focus should be to celebrate these students who actually used their 1st amendment rights and condemn the people who invaded the protest only to cause violence. Sadly republicans will use these assholes as an excuse to punish the peaceful protesters, which is just tragic.

I highly doubt the students of Berkeley are all as innocent as you claim. What else do you expect them to say? The MSM constantly lies about these "peaceful" protests over and over. They all just stood there and watched and none of them did anything wrong? Outsiders may have intigated it, but there is little doubt that none of the Berkeley students got involved in it.
