>>>I heard about some window smashing, which seems a bit violent to me. I also heard about a student somewhere in California who was deliberately run down by a car during a protest. If this is true, it is not exactly peaceful. I certainly have no problem with peaceful protests. I happen to believe in the first amendment....

>>Window smashing is wrong, though minor. If a student was intentionally run down, that's also wrong and someone should be punished. But I don't think any of that can be characterized as rioting.

>LOL.... Burning things, smashing windows, and running someone down with an auto is not rioting? What world are you living in?

Rioting is groups of people committing violence. Burning effigies is not rioting.
