I agree that is a favorable reading.

But it is especially a stretch in the context of January 6th which involved violence directed at people. And the rest of the paragraph laments that future action must be nonviolent.

So, in fact, it's not advocating the violence.

It’s hard to say. Words like “I’d like” and “unfortunately” make me think it’s a desire for violence but an acknowledgement that it’s not worthwhile. Like I said, I’m trying to find the favorable reading. It seems hyperbolic at best.
