The thing is protest has been criminalized. The people who protested Trump's inauguration are facing what amounts to life in federal prison. Yes there was one car damaged but the Nazis who's protest lead to the death of that young woman face no charges.

And what was the purpose of protesting the inauguration? I get it you are MAD and you want to break things. But did you vote? How many of those protesters did? Statistically, very few. You get the government you deserve.

And yes, the potential sentences run into decades despite the extremely minor nature of the property damage. A slanted editorial but one grounded in fact rather than a particular ideology: http://georgetownvoice.com/2017/12/01/j20-defendants-face-a-miscarriage-of-justice/ http://georgetownvoice.com/2017/12/01/j20-defendants-face-a-...
