How did German's in the late 1920s and early 1930s react to political violence?

by GHurst

When you learn about the rise of Hitler, something that is often brought up is how the SA (The paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party) fought in the streets with the paramilitary wings of the Communist Party. How did different segments of German society respond to the violence between these groups?
