Unfortunately, it seems difficult to protest these days without attracting a certain element that attends for the sole purpose of causing trouble and damaging property, etc. I don't think its fair to dismiss the entire crowd based on those trouble makers.

Totally agree. Criticizing the message or goal of a protest is (and should be) fair game. I felt that some posters were criticizing the students for protesting, period. I just quickly reviewed the thread though and didn't really see much of that, so I think my comment was unfair. I apologize for that.
