I'm not going to say it's right. I'm just going to say this. Violence gets people's attention. It is what it is.
It's criminal despite what some seem to think. I have heard some of the dumbest people say that this is covered in their First Amendment rights. Seriously, something must be done about educating people in the USA!

https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/f...r_protests.pdf One should always do some research before joining in with a group. Like I said above, I have seen some of the dumbest people interviewed that feel that have a right to protest anyway they wish, most were college students, what a shame.

I never said it wasn't criminal acts. I just said it gets people's attention.
There was a interview of the students that walked out of their NY City Class rooms to Protest. Not only they did not know exactly what they were protesting and did not even the States of Terror.
One young girl said "we should fight without fist" Apparently she did not like guns violence's!
But in the end she was promoting assault and battery!
The Reality this same girl just may be met with overwhelming force to include lethal force.
Whether knowingly or not, you are making the mistake of conflating Anarchists and Liberals. The two are not the same at all, and it does not add weight to your opinion when they are confused and the terms are used interchangeably.
I am a moderate Democrat, tilting to the left on some but not all current issues. I am certainly not an anarchist, and I am not a violent person, nor do I encourage or support violence, vandalism, property destruction, arson, theft, injuring others, blocking doorways, interfering with others' freedom of speech or movement, etc. I don't even like graffiti. I condemn all of these things.
That said, peaceful rallies are just fine. And they are 99%+ of what we've experienced recently. Like the one I attended on the courthouse square last weekend. About five or six police officers were there, along with around 1,000 other people. The police were being asked to pose for selfies, sign autographs, and were being approached by members of the public just to chat. We have a very fine police chief at present, and some of those attending the rally spoke to the police who were present in order to voice their admiration for our police chief.
There did not seem to be one bit of litter left after the rally dispersed, despite the many signs, many of them homemade.
I'd encourage you to check out your local events - marches, rallies, public meetings, etc. - in person to get a more accurate idea of what's going on, and to get the facts from those who were there in other places. Incidents such as what occurred in Oakland are very rare, condemned by peaceful people from all sides and POVs, and are quite atypical. In fact, because of its rarity, there are those who are questioning if it might not have been a fifth column/false flag incident? Whatever it was, it should not have happened and I hope we do not see such again.
A good example is the riots in Baltimore when Mosley order the Police force back, while there was wide spread violence and destruction of private and city property.
Ferguson, Guardsmen was help back from clearing the streets once the protest turn in to mass looting and assault.
The Level of violence will be met to secure the streets. Plus protect the peace protestors..

Especially when you're being taken over by a fascist government. Right wingers want to attack liberals, but liberals are the only ones standing up for this country not turning into Nazi Germany. Right wingers embrace the Nazis.

Right wingers aren't beating people with flag poles and axe handles for the "crime" of listening to someone speak who they disagree with.
