Absolutely not. The people who show up to create violence are to blame for the violence. If we were to put the blame on peaceful protesting, then we'd have to outlaw peaceful protesting. Basically - you'd have to eliminate the First Amendment.
Protesters typically don't show up with the plan of committing violence against any one or any thing. However, if others show up and attack a protester, the protester might fight back in self-defense. The burden is still borne on the attacker's shoulders.
