Actually, I feel in these protests, a lot of innocent people get drawn into them.
They dont realize that some people are driving the agenda, and then it becomes not so peaceful.
I'd say "naive", rather than "innocent". If you join a group, you take on the responsibility of having joined it.

Yes, that is the word I am looking for.
College kids dont know what they are doing, they just go in groups to do things.
I would hate to be in one of those protests where they tear gas everyone and use rubber balls.

Most college students don’t take over campus and building.
Most are studying for finals exams.
The few who created havoc should be expelled and jailed for domestic terrorism. This way they get no due process
reply
Most of this has been happening at private universities where the student body overwhelmingly supports the protesters and the administration has chosen to enable them.
Not your circus, not your monkeys.

Most of the student body has not participated. It’s a small minority that has created havoc

Why does that bother you so much that you want to kill people over it?

Different but related topic
If you block traffic on a highway or bridge, should cars stop and tolerate criminals or should we run them over?
I vote running them over
Protestors blocking traffic did not have right of way

This one’s tricky to me. I don’t think people have an obligation to allow a mob to surround their car, but I also don’t think being in a road should make you fair game.
I’d say you have a right to do what you need to do to get away.
I also think if you’re in a medical emergency, you have a right to do what you need to do to get past people intentionally blocking your way.
Yeah, I believe the same thing.
They are allowed to peacefully protest.
Its that when they are aggressive, and taking away from other people that they shouldnt be given quarters.
I know it looks bad for the cars, but the people dont have a right to be on the highway.

Darwin or social Darwinism?
I am a critic of the blank slate theory. I believe genes determine your destiny at least 50 percent
I was 40 percent kidding.
Protestors especially the non students should be tear gassed and tasered.
They should definitely be shot with b b guns or non lethal bullet
But also the collateral damage such as regular students who can’t study for finals or sleep
Imagine being a student in this position
But no, we must understand the protestors and negotiate.
