    People and parents bringing their children to such a kind of demonstration are willingly endangering them. Why do they bring their kids? It is irresponsible and in bad faith. Maybe because they know they can later pull the “oh noes, they hurt my poor child” card.

          “If it was peaceful, why did the police show up?”

          “If you were innocent, then why were you arrested?”

          Bad arguments are bad.

          Yes, it was completely peaceful as it has been for the past 30 something weeks that these rallies have been held.

          If you’ve ever been to a demonstration you’d understand that all the police do is show up and cause violence. No one needed protecting from us, we walked down a goddamn street. Last time I checked that wasn’t exactly a violent act. But people sure needed protecting from the police…
