KLP, As a rule, the kind of people that become parts of protest groups, are those that have nothing else to do, and want to make a scene to call attention to themselves as much as the cause they profess to be protesting, or supporting. If they don't get enough attention one way, they will surely try another, and with most of them, violence is an option from the git go.
