One may not agree with what they’re protesting or how they’re going about it, and think they’re incredibly naive.

I’m sure many older people got very very angry at the Vietnam war protests in the 60’s. Called the protesters dirty hippies and filthy commies. But they were right about the injustices occurring. While obviously the two situations are different, the spirit lives on.
Don't think that there were not people of the same young age that did not like some of the things that went along with that in the Vietnam years such as the SDS and Weathermen among other disrupting dangerous groups.
We do find some of these among later Officials and hosting future Presidents in their Living Rooms to plan.

They were either peaceful or they weren’t.
Ask CNN, apparently they're the ones who had coined that term...except they'd used the word "fiery" in with it.

They should've been sent stale bread and water with hair in it.

Yeah well I don’t agree with that either.

There are indeed peaceful protestors and there are indeed violent protestors (rioters).

When you cross the line into rioting, regardless of your political persuasion, you’ve crossed the line.

Of course there were, nowhere did I state all young people protested or supported the protests.

Do you consider, protesters who block streets or highways or sidewalks, or who take over university campuses or buildings, or who assault cops or university staff, as peaceful protestors or as rioters?

Give them pickle juice to drink and pickled eggs to eat and I bet that most would soon head home to their bathrooms.
