political, protest, muder, looniness, and terrorism- all of the above- and so wrapped up as to be all of the above all at once.

When you eat an orange, you eat pulp and juice altogether. After all, the juice is in the pulp. For me, in many of these cases, the prostest is as integral to the terrorism as the juice is to the pulp. Now you can strain out the pulp, and drink your orange juice without pulp, but that's just one way to experience the orange, as non-violence is just one way to accomplish political protest.

The really important question, imo, is how do we stop violent political protest? What opportunities need to be there to quell it? And is a certain amount of it inevitable?

this is an even more clear example of a muder as political protest, which is also terrorism.
