That's kind of sad, @santorini. There would never have been a United States had it not been for protests. Protests are often the only impetus to change.

The great Boston Tea Party against old king george was an unsanctioned riot. Grand old tradition as a response to injustice here in the USA.

Hearing about protests makes me feel very patriotic. The right to peacefully assemble is part of what makes us great. When all else fails us and justice seems impossible, we all have the right to protest and make our voices heard. We wouldn't want to live in a country where such speech was stifled. Speech does not have to make you comfortable.

@Porcelain , Yes, it is not only our right, but our responsibility.

@Kachina624 , You are so right, it's time for these people to actually read the constitution, if in fact they can read and understand .

@Porcelain I completely agree! 'Good Trouble' - I just loved John Lewis. Catch the documentary if you haven't yet!

It's so frustrating when the looting happens - and people (wronglyfully) associate that with part of the protest.
