It's a nice way to convince yourself that you're some sort of hero.

I'll give them credit though, at least the protesters managed to avoid destroying several city blocks.

I cant wait to exercise my right to jump police barricades, It seems to me that some view peacefull in a totaly different context than others.
TO me protesting is fine as long as you do not interfere with the day to day operations of the area. Dont destroy businesses and do not jump police barricades. Also someone might want to tell them that not telling the Police your name means that you can not be booked so I am gonna guess that they could be in limbo for a very long time. Also taking children into that environment might be abuse in most states.

Most protestors are peaceful. But whenever a small violent minority acts, it makes the whole protest look like a bunch of lunatics. A method which has often been used by governments to discredit opponents.

I have nothing against proper protest, what I loath is those that use the opportunity of a protest to create civil unrest and destroy property.
This groups own words make a mockery of their protests.
