I am shocked that someone as well educated as you are would make such an ignorant statement, young princess Allie: "they can get away with violence and treachery". Cut off from the rule of law by majoritarian coercion, protests are a time honored method for drawing media attention to that very form of abuse. Would you have Ige do as Nixon did at Kent State when he armed the National Guard and they mowed down student protestors because they were chanting Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh?
