Yeah, your being ridiculously pedantic. The concept of protest dies not actually exclude violence.

    I am always extremely pedantic.

    Violence is not a complaint or in any way a form of legitimate dialogue.

    Again, the concept of protest is not limited to legitimate dialogue.

    I can go all day!

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    that's just your opinion

    also let's just be clear here, it is not "violence" (in the sense that you seem to be using it) to protect yourself against violence instigated by others

    If ICE force their way onto your property, that's their violence.

    If you force your way onto federal property, that's your violence.

    How did the French revolution go, again? One big ole peaceful protest, right?

    The French started by uniting the people and bankrupting the state, so I reccomend you start there as well, because if you go into a war with a minority of the public to support you then you're going to wind up less like the French and more like the Spaniards.
