The alternative looks like this:

We appropriately condemn the violence of the neo-Nazi crowd in VA. We inappropriately excuse the violence of the Antifa / BLM crowd in VA. The result is tacit approval of vigilantism in pursuit of punishing those who engage in racism. As abhorrent as racism is, I don't think anyone wants to condone vigilantism.
By giving us your alternative you've reinforced my point which you may have missed, but I don't think so.
