Why are "antiwar" protestors so violent?

IRONIC ISNT IT?

Answer 1

Unemployed liberals venting their frustrations since they know their candidate will lose in November.

Answer 2

Probably only a small handful of the crowd caused the destruction. Classic case of the few ruining things for the many. Most demonstrators do act a little aggressive though, generally because they're tired of being ignored and desperate to be heard. Demonstrations by other factions (such as the pro-life fundamentalist christians that bomb clinics) have violent tendencies too. This sort of activity isn't isolated to just anti-war protesters.

Answer 3

they are mostly unemployed people that do a lot of drugs and are anarchists because they have bad social skills

Answer 4

They are tired of the Bush administration, that's the reason

Answer 5

Haha good point...

they're probably really passionate about what they feel. But they're expressing it in a totally wrong way.

Answer 6

How violent are you when people start cracking in your head for your unpopular political beliefs?

This nation is overdue for a revolution anyway.

Answer 7

Yet, no one got hurt. That is the hallmark of such protests. Generally the police harm more people than the protester do.  

Answer 8

i think Jake is right

Answer 9

Because basically they are Fascists. They want  to shut down all speech opposing them, they use violence  to get their point across, they want  to keep everything in a constant state of panic, they want to make their cause the moral equal of a war, need I go on.

Answer 10

LOL I love it! This shows their hypocrisy! They don't want peace, they want to be king

Answer 11

I hope the far left didn't put them up to this stupid display.

Those protesters need to be put in jail until they either learn sense or turn old and gray, which ever comes first.

Answer 12

Geee,, I don't know,,maybe because over 4000 of America's finest 'Gladiators' are dead,,and over 1,200,000,000 Iraqi's are dead in an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation,which reason for same keeps changing on a regular basis with no end in sight !!Or maybe because, of the 450 billion dollars of debt which is not paid,and is being funded by Bonds bought by China,,that our Grand Children will pay for,,AND is growing by 10 billion a month !! Or the fact that the GOP candidate McCain says he don't care if we're there another 100years !!! And THAT'S  where the GOP are gathering who RAPED AND PLUNDERED America and its citizens for the last eight years!!! That MIGHT be some of the reasons those AMERICANS are really "pizzed" off !!  How come that didn't happen at the Democrats Convention ???   Hmmmmmmm !!!    L   H

Answer 13
