Because even if all 150 of these masked violent protestors would have been part of the 1500 peaceful protesters during the day, it would still at most account for 10% of all students who participated. I am not excusing the whole group, I am excusing those that protested peacefully. I know there are a lot of republicans that don't like when people protest, even when it's peaceful. Good thing the protesters always have the most important amendment on their side though.

I'm not really sure how much plausible deniability you have if you stick around while people are being waylaid with flagpoles. At what point do peaceful protesters (many of whom seem perfectly happy to use the heckler's veto, which is not exactly peaceful) just become the good cop in a good cop/bad cop routine?
