I'm from China, I'm actually shocked to see people in the US or France do that all the time. Usually, it seems private properties are destroyed during the process. But why? If it is the government people protest, but why do people break shop windows and burn someone's car all the time... It seems to be a lesser kind of terrorism for me: they don't like a country, they hurt properties instead of people.

There are thugs, they see protests as a way to hide in the mass and commit crimes. It's good for the government because they can then say that the protests were "violent".
