I remember the 60s demonstrations got pretty violent. And I also remember a lot of people wanting Americans to take to the streets with pitchforks and violence during Bush's administration, yet now it seems they want nothing more than peace, love and flowers and such.

Revolutions happen whether they're peaceful or violent.
