> On the other hand, it was a peaceful protest If you’re talking about people occupying the office of Google Cloud’s CEO, and refusing to leave, that is definitely not peaceful. That’s an act of force and it is illegal, and would be an illegal form of protest even if it were a publicly funded space like a government building. Like I said - your political views don’t entitle you to anything - including an audience. These people are free to act in a civil and legal way to argue for their political views, like the rest of us, since they have that option available. But they chose the path of breaking the law because most people don’t agree with their views, and the rioters can’t accept that. Being ignored doesn’t make it acceptable to escalate to illegal rioting.
