    Ah yes, I remember the civil rights movement where black Americans just politely asked politicians to please give them rights. And the gay rights movement where nobody was arrested. And the protests in Hong Kong which were very peaceful. And the non-provocative Tiennaman Square protest. And the protests for women’s rights against the Taliban where no laws are being broken

      Good memories. Those were real protesters! They just quietly and politely asked for acknowledgement of their humanity, as one should.

      Nowadays who knows what people are capable of. I’ve heard somebody threw paint on the glass in front of some painting!

      These people should get shot for advocating such horrible violence.
