However if a rockstar were to protest peacefully and shout “Black Lives Matters” then throw a rock through a police car window..

…I’d assume that would be judged differently than an attempted murder and trashing a hotel room.

The question is what would be the judgement for all three?

I'm genuinely confused what the question is.

Shouting "black lives matter" at a protest is a fairly minor virtuous action. Throwing a rock at a police car is a pretty minor sin.

Attempted murder is generally a pretty major sin, modulo quibbles about legal vs moral definitions of murder.
