We almost need a protest 101 class so that people know that no good comes from this. Many people that have these racists views were raised in areas that get little to no information, or are so divided that they never get to meet the other side. A peaceful protest allows people to come to your side more easily, a violent one allows them to cement their horrible views. The black guy getting punched in the Trump rally did far more good than any of this did. The person that punched him had to face the real results of his anger and hate, and had to sober on the reality that he just hit a guy because of his internal hate.
