Protesting is the public expression of disapproval, objection, or dissent toward an idea, law, policy, or action. It is typically a organized, collective effort aimed at influencing public opinion or government policy, and it is a constitutionally protected right in democratic societies.

Rioting is a form of civil disorder characterized by a group of people engaging in public, disorganized violence, vandalism, arson, or destruction of property. Unlike peaceful protests, rioting involves criminal behavior, immediate danger to public safety, and a breakdown of legal order.

Its really exhausting to hear rioters being called protestors.
