Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

[A Theist]

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.

The serious increase in the escalation of violence is because of the left's hate filled intolerance toward people they disagree with. They've become a cancer, and elements of the far left are quickly approaching the status of home grown terrorists. I don't think the left knows what peaceful protests are anymore. They're the ones who quell free speech, as was demonstrated at Berkeley recently. The left has become so fucked in the head that I think the National Gaurd and a strong police presence in riot gear need to be standing watch at every so called peaceful protest that the left organizes.
