If im being honest, average people face horrors because of corrupt people in power. I tend to have less sympathy for certain people in an instance of a violent protest. If they are willing to cause despair to the lives of many, well, it is what it is if some people go after them in the end..
But this is about peaceful ones specifically to respect the rules.
To /u/Dry-Ad-2732, Your post is under consideration for removal for violating Rule B.
In our experience, the best conversations genuinely consider the other person’s perspective. Here are some techniques for keeping yourself honest:

Instead of only looking for flaws in a comment, be sure to engage with the commenters’ strongest arguments — not just their weakest.
Steelman rather than strawman. When summarizing someone’s points, look for the most reasonable interpretation of their words.
Avoid moving the goalposts. Reread the claims in your OP or first comments and if you need to change to a new set of claims to continue arguing for your position, you might want to consider acknowledging the change in view with a delta before proceeding.
Ask questions and really try to understand the other side, rather than trying to prove why they are wrong.

Please also take a moment to review our Rule B guidelines and really ask yourself - am I exhibiting any of these behaviors? If so, see what you can do to get the discussion back on track.  Remember, the goal of CMV is to try and understand why others think differently than you do. >

I agree with you in theory, but this is much harder to accomplish in practice.
When you take a large, angry, riled-up group of people and direct their anger not at a system or institution, but rather at an individual human (not to mention a human they are standing only a few feet from) it becomes much more difficult to keep things peaceful. 
You can't punch, stab, or shoot an idea like 'gerrymandering' or 'gender inequality,' but you can certainly punch, stab, or shoot a human being. As a result, I think there's a much higher risk of peaceful protests becoming violent mobs in these cases.
Again, I have nothing against the peaceful protests you mention; the only trick is consistently keeping them peaceful.
