It’s annoying to conservatives to see riots called “protests” in the press, and even the Daily Mail refers to them as “Anti-Trump protesters” but the US Attorney is charging them with “Felony Rioting”. (Via Instapundit, whose reaction was “Well, that’s different.”) Right, a protester protesting a window with protest bat.

Below, two views of what I think was the same limo which was protested by someone who threw a protest flare into its interior.





Here’s Larry King (age 83) talking about what happened to his SUV:

I don’t blame him for being rattled, if he was in the car. I don’t know if anyone was in the car hit by the protest flare, but I don’t believe that the “protesters” cared.
