    nonviolent protest only works if the people you're protesting against aren't willing to use lethal force

      A non violent protest has to actually break the law. Theres a reason they called it "civil disobedience". Gahndi and his followers got their asses kicked because they broke laws. MLK and his followers did the same.

      Our libs think that breaking any law makes a protest illegitimate. They pride themselves on not breaking the law. They pride themselves on civil obedience and think that it gives them brownie points.

        Or they were looking for an excuse to do that particular demand anyways, but they didn't have the necessary political capital.
