Some people would riot, regardless of the cause.
Depite me being a fervent war supporter, I do think that the greatest majority of protesters are good people.

Most of the people there just want to have a party.

Funny Dissident but we have the same problem here in Mexico (especially in Mexico City)
Whenever there is a protest or march, and this happens rather frequently, hundreds of people march from some rural municipalty all the way to Mexico City, they march through the largest and busiest streets, notably Reforma which is like our Park Avenue, shutting down all traffic in the process and causing chaos in a 20 million people city which is already in gridlock.
While I have no problem with these people protesting injustice (which they are surely right in doing) doesn't that invade my own liberty as a commuter? Must I, and millions more suffer just because these people are pissed off at something?
THe problem is the government is so afraid that if they "control" these protests, they will be acussed of authoritarianism, of violating human rights, etc. What about my human rights when a freeway is shut down?
No fair.
Dissident, I feel your pain.
