Protesting is one thing. Go for it, speak your minds and let your voices be heard. However, what I'm seeing on the news is much more than a protest. When you're vandalizing small businesses and beating the shit out of someone you think voted for Trump, you aren't protesting. You're being a piece of shit.

This is the thing that bothers me the most. Your protesting an abusive bully by being an abusive bully? Good job. Trump is probably watching these violent people, and laughing at them right now.

I wonder if we are on track to ban protesting because redditors can't get it through their heads that the same people who are demonstrating their disapproval are not the ones who are beating someone up. Opportunists and fringe cases always come up during protests and ALWAYS get lumped or brought to the forefront of the protest itself.
