It's incredibly admirable that when people felt 'it could be me' they responded with protest and words, and strategy. Even in the most uncharitable interpretation of 'they rioted and busted up windows and looted', it's still more honorable than how the right wing has responded here. BLM protestors faced so much scrutiny on tactics, people were expected to hold that fear and direct it in a perfectly legal way, which would also be perfectly productive, and also somehow not bother anyone.
The right wing has no standards placed on them for how to react. So far their strategy has been 'let's purge a whole bunch of people who weren't connected to the event at all'. And they are getting away with that, because by and large (white) people are able to sympathize with their fear.
