    This article is about peaceful and non-peaceful protests. In recent years, it seems like the most common protests that make the news have turned into riots. This article explores the morality and ideals between the two forms of protest.

    It seems that mostly what's on the news are the violent protest. Those are the only protest that get reported. I do believe you can have a peaceful protest and still be heard rather than letting it come down to violence. With all the recent violent protesting going on it makes a person think about where did everyone's dignity and respect for one another really go.

    Personally, I can see why nonviolent protests can be seen as a method that really doesn't get the message out, but at the same time it's a much more mature, respectful, and Constitutional way to make a statement. As listed in the article, many great things have been accomplished through a peaceful stand.

    The right to protest has been a major point of freedom for the US. It's a fundamental right written in the constitution. Now lawmakers are trying to take away that freedom by making it illegal to protest.

    I hope more citizens read this article and understand its implications. The core of our rights are being challenged. Without our citizens ability to organize and speak out against policies the our legislators enact we are heading into a direction of totalitarianism. We the people hold the power. Vote.

    The real problem is the groups that are vandalizing and rioting, and then claiming it is their right. Because of these people, these states are trying to do something that should never even be a thought. Basic human rights shall never be taken by Americans as long as we don't allow it. @albertskarsten you are absolutely right " We the people hold the power"

    The right to peaceful protest should never be taken from the American people. I do not condone the violence and rioting that occurs, and laws pertaining to that are pertinent, but not peaceful protest. So many things have been accomplished because of these types of protests in our history. As a woman I would not be participating in this class if it weren't for the people brave enough to protest for equality. It is a travesty that government officials, who should know and understand the rights given to the us in the Constitution, would bring about legislation to override said rights.
