As is usually the case when there are very divergent opinions; there is confusion. Rioters, looters, and arsonists are not peaceful protestors and should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. What happened in Portland was not peaceful in any way and those involved should have been arrested and prosecuted. The protests that Martin Luther King led were peaceful, most of the recent protests across America have been peaceful; and if it weren't for the protests such as the Boston Tea Party that led to the American Revolution, America might still be a British colony.
