I have absolutely no problem when people want to protest; it is their right. I just have a problem when they start destroying public and private property, try to goad the police officers into arresting them, or resort to violence. Those people need to be arrested. Also find it funny that so many things are being protested. They can't even put on a united front about one subject.
