No, I suppose baiting violence at rallies does not excuse violence at rallies. However, if you provoke and get a response you are not an innocent party as the media seems to enjoy painting. If there is truth to Trump's comments about certain protestors coming in and actually being violent first, then there's a problem. This is not a one-sided issue, and there are a litany of double-digit minute videos of anti-Trump protestors being extremely violent outside of Trump rallies yet they do not get nearly the same coverage. There's a nation-wide media preference of Hillary Clinton that's nearly undeniable at this point. I'd rather vote for Trump than I would Clinton for some of the content in these leaked emails are to be taken with absolute seriousness.
