Ever heard of the Boston Tea Party?

The Boston Tea Party was a deliberate provocation. If the protesters here are trying to incite a violent revolution, I suppose that's their right in some sense, but all of us who don't want a revolution have a right to be put out by it.

Sure, but in a country where the bar for legitimate protest is set by Constitutional law at "mass armed violence," everything else seems like fair game.

Replying to krapp: violent armed protest protected by the constitution is explicitly targeted at the government in response to loss of freedom. That may be justification for attacking a police station, but not local businesses.
