Somebody else here, I think an issue might be that it's people being under (presumably) immoral oppression lashing out with immoral means, so to try to stop them might itself be siding with the also immoral oppression. There's something here about the goal and the means.
The way I see it, the people lashing out are doing so because they were effectively forced to, which puts their behavior outside the bounds of moral judgement. Such judgement should be reserved for the ones who left those people with no other choice.
