They disgust me, putting it plainly, yes even the ones protesting peacfully.

Everyone else is this country is suffering, having cut backs, why should they be let off? They're acting like brats. I say smoke bomb, tazer, and C45 them.

Then roast and execute them.

I hate rioters. They don't belong in a nation and should be stripped off all their freedoms.

Pleasant. Rioters are the only ones that get things done, and i would think that even staunch foes of Communism could have a healthy appreciation for rioters, since they're the ones that toppled the Eastern Bloc

Oops. Let me change that to "they don't belong in a [Western] nation" then.

Even there. There's few better ways to send a message that'll actually be heard by the wealthy politicians who don't have to worry about putting food on the table than angry people in the streets.

It's just that it doesn''t work that way anymore. In the past desperate people were rioting on the streets but ever since the 1960's protesters aren't really angry and desperate. They're middle class who are well off economically. They're just intellectuals, anarchists and socialists who want to bring the nation down. Since they can't garner enough support in political elections (just watch those pictures of the rioters, the majority are clothed like hippies and commies) they take advantage of the street protest tradition.
