Honest question: do you feel the same about the riots over the past summer?

This is now attempt number 4 in this thread to get me on this point. This is not an "honest question", it's a gotcha attempt.

I am against rioting. Full stop.

Great, so am I! But I have been hearing people (both here and from the very politicians threatened on the 6th) excusing and downplaying the violent rioting that occurred over the summer.

This "gotcha" is an attempt to see whether one is dealing with someone that has a consistent set of principles.
