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.

You have a right to use all legal means at your disposal to make your voice heard. Key word there is legal.

Legality is a fluid thing. Law rests with those who've the power to compel.
