“I mean, if they want to break the constitution, it’s them. I don’t have to worry.” “I mean, maybe I should [be worried]but I believe this constitution, I will rely on it, and I will support my First Amendment. ”

An independent protester attended the meeting outside Saturday’s march and said he “full support” activists who “want to throw stones” as long as they did not hurt anyone in the process.
“Honestly – they have the right to be angry. They have the right to do what they want to stop this problem, to stop what fascism needs to do,” he said. “And, honestly, I fully support that. If they get angry, they want to go out, they want to throw stones. As long as they don’t hurt anyone, I know, I can understand, and honestly, I can do it.”

Anti-Trump protests that coincided with Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C. have experienced some isolated violence, but appear mostly peaceful. However, the weekend was before the violent riots in Los Angeles that spread to other cities such as New York and Chicago – reminiscent of anti-police protests following the death of Minneapolitan George Floyd in the summer of 2020.
Protesters in Los Angeles threw rocks at law enforcement, and several fires broke out in the city, exploding in the chaos. There have been reports of damage to federal buildings, including offices related to immigrants and non-immigrants, including graffiti that threatened the lives of federal officials. Veterans under the Department of Veterans Affairs have at least one community care office that has been forced to close and cancel hundreds of appointments in the midst of violence. Many were arrested for clashes with police, and the echoes of the riots led to other tense clashes between police and militants across the country.
Although no direct attribute to political violence in recent protests, including Los Angeles, deaths have occurred in some protests across the country. An innocent bystander in Utah was reportedly shot by a man who protested and peacekeeping team.
Peaceful protesters in Washington, D.C. have shown that they do not approve of any violence, but they do show that they understand why the protests in recent days have been so intense that they have led to violence against police, property, and more.
“I mean, I personally wouldn’t do that, but after all this, I can understand. People are fed up. People are tired of how the government treats people.” “Republicans, people in Congress don’t care about people here, so I can understand why people are angry about something like this, so, yes, I totally understand.”

The second protester added: “I think it’s wrong to cause violence, but like he said, I mean, I think people are angry.”
“What Trump is doing, he knows the polarization and anger he causes, so it’s part of his game plan. The National Guard in Los Angeles, he causes that. He says no news what newsom says. I mean, he knows what he’s doing, he wants to cause people to rise up.”

Another protester on Saturday spoke with Fox News digital numbers, saying she believed that “grinding” was against the interests of those seeking change, but that “history proved sometimes needed to invade.”
“All respect for their respect, I think they are doing what they think is right, but I think it’s against our interests to be very grinding. I think that drives a lot of people and it doesn’t really promote the conversation we need,” said a protester who identified himself, Sophie said. “I think being aggressive is the way to go, but I think history proves that sometimes it needs to invade, so, I don’t want to grind it.”
