There is the right to have a "peaceful" protest, NOT to go on a rage of destruction to innocent people or their property. To bad the shop owners didn't exercise their rights to protect their property.

If a group of assholes decided to go into your yard, bust out the windows to your house, beat on your car; what would you do?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
all this is true, but sometimes as i have been witness a number of peaceful protests, police are the ones who kinda trigger the violence by preventing the crowd from peacefully getting passed a certain point or by pushing the crowd to stay in a certain area or street... and i gotta admit some hot headed youngsters or extremists get aggravated by such acts and then things escalate...

that said, many times rioters start shit up, so one must check all the events to blame some1 for violence... still i dont find damaging public or private property any useful to make a point, unless its a brutal revolution that sweeps everyone and everything at the moment! thats how revolutions are sadly, explosive!
