MODERATORS
I'm reminded of a quote: "a riot is the language of the unheard." When the opposition will vilify ANY attempt to stand together and demand change as a "riot" and respond with state violence, what reason do you have to protest peacefully? If they're just going to gas protestors, use dogs and pepper spray and bullets (both rubber and regular) and armored vehicles, then why bother trying to act like "the bigger man"?
Then in that case the rational violence would have been totally against the government, instead they damaged things used by low/middle class citizens and not things that actually would piss off politicians, they also damaged small businesses (literally run by families)
If they are going to use violence against citizens then they have no justification.
