Most people were protesting, there were a small number of people that were using this as an excuse to riot, they are not the same as the protesters.

Funny how there are so many on here that whine and cry about their second amendment rights always seem to have a problem with people exercising their first amendment rights. Sorry you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. They have just as much right to free speech as you do to bear arms.

There are limits to all rights - including the 2nd Amendment: no sane person thinks civilians should be able to own nukes.

1st Amendment rights are also limited - it does not protect the actions of defecating on cop cars, blocking traffic, graffiti, littering, damaging cars, etc...

This isn't a difficult concept.

I'm not talking about vandalism I'm taking about the peaceful protests. A lot of people criticize the fact that they are protesting to begin with. I don't agree necessarily with what they're protesting but I respect their right to do so peacefully because maybe one day there will be something that will so deeply affect me that I may need to use that right. Many people do not respect the right hence the "better not try that in Wyoming" veiled threat.

Trump lost Illinois, why are there protests in Chicago?

Because some liberal arts professors, in the gender studies dept. told them the best thing to do is go virtue checking and act out and lose all self control. And it went viral on social media as a party.

Yes, the ones that were tearing up our suburbs and attacking in gangs all black people while wearing KKK costumes....which would be exactly zero protestors in 2008 & 2012.

Then of course after Obama took office, the Tea Party protests began and happened regularly for years afterwards.

And this would be a good read for you from a more libertarian perspective.

So while you may have forgotten the protests of Obama after he won the election in 2008, there is still plenty of information on the internet for you to seek out to help remind you of what happened in this country during that time.
The Tea Party protests happened long before Obama won his primary. Guess you conveniently forgot about that.
