wtf are you doing in my bedroom that's breaking and entering sir I'm calling the police
Entering is a little presumptuous.
I’m serious though. Think carefully about the actions and behaviours you condone.
I have, because I like to pretend to be a moral man who carefully considers my more questionable positions instead of just blindly accepting them.
In the end, we can't throw a blanket over these kinds of things and call them "violence" and pretend all violence is created equally. My reactions to instances of public violence are going to depend on the context involved. If you'll indulge me, it's sort of like when whats her name was crying about Aaron Schlossberg being harassed in the streets after his racism was caught on camera; she said "What if one of your friends or family members was being harassed for their views?" which codified my stance all the more. If one of my friends of family members was caught on tape threatening to call ICE on two people speaking spanish and going on an apoplectic racist rant I would be fucking ashamed and wouldn't catch feelings at all if they were then harassed in the street.
Tomi Lahren is a character just as much as Alex Jones is. Her job is to say things that are on the teetering edge of being just outward support of white supremacy, in order to piss off liberals and get conservatives boners. When you say these kinds of morally reprehensible things, you're inevitably going to get a response that is also on the "bad" side of the morality scale. I'm not ever going to lose sleep at, very specifically, someone throwing water at a person who's job is to make white people feel anger and hatred toward minorities. Same way I wouldn't lose sleep if my brother threw down with someone who talked shit about my mom. On the more extreme end of the political violence spectrum, I didn't feel any moral outrage when Richard Spencer got socked in the face, because what he advocates for is unambiguously monstrous.
All of that said, I wouldn't encourage someone to participate in any kind of violence because on it's own it can't achieve progressive goals. At the same time I'm not going to delude myself into believing that all violence is created equal and equally bad, or that political means never can be achieved through violence. We just aren't at a place right now in America where violence is necessary to enact change, anyone who believes that is dumb as hell.
So, in short, I like seeing Tomi get splashed with water because she's a piece of shit.
