Where's the outrage over violent dissent?

I recently saw in the pro-immigration rally in Phoenix, Az., many protesters hurling bricks and rocks at the law officers as well as other civilians. There were signs visible that advocated a lot more than peaceful dissent.

Unfortunately, I saw absolutely none of the video displayed on any of the major networks. This is where I think that there is a preset agenda on the part of the media. At the past health care rally I saw the supposedly "violent " tea-partiers played countless of times; where there were no acts of actual violence.

Where is the outrage from Janet Napolitano? Or Illinois' own Jan Schakowsky? Our president, who speaks at length, had no comment as well. President Obama, however, did call on "young people, women, blacks and Latinos" to unite to push his agenda through in November; what about the rest of America?

I thought he would be the great uniter; a promise many people hoped they could believe in. America will need to be more than just a place to live in - it should be a place that all can be proud of.
