So what did you hope for when you tried to overthrow the country this time? A king?The right to protest doesn't include overthrowing the government, dumb ass.The people have a Constitutional right to protest. The founders noted that at times those protests will get violent. The military is supposed to protect our rights.
To note that you support the right to protest does not have to mean you support the reason people are protesting.
Thomas Jefferson noted that violence would at times be necessary.
And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I did not support what the people protested over here and I think many would do otherwise if they had the choice now (they don't) but we aren't even a country today if we simply tried to accomplish everything by saying "please".
We overthrew the government to become a country.
