In truth there has never been any democratic change in the world that hasn't needed riots to make it happen, the powers that be don't just hand over their power and wealth to ordinary people, it has to be forced out of them, a riot is basically a warning 'give us what we need or the next step is revolution'

the huge marches is enough to bring attention to the issues, things can be done peacefully. You thing throwing rocks at police officers does anything? iy's just pointless.
Posters on the sit are bizarre, irrational hatred of guns and law abiding gun owners but are pro actual violence and law breaking.
