Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

[I_am_not_mafia]

Violence never comes out of nowhere, unless it is because a small group deliberately trying to disrupt a peaceful protest so that it can be denounced by the establishment. Peaceful protest works and is always preferable. But sometimes violence escalates over time from both sides. The establishment use more forceful means to quell free speech, so the protesters protest more strongly which leads to more forceful methods deployed against them next time.

Expect a serious increase in escalation with Trump in charge as he deploys force to stop a protest.
