> Is it a peaceful protest when you're harassing citizens of your capital with non-stop honking?

Would you rather they be burning buildings and assaulting federal buildings? As far as major protests go in the Western Hemisphere over the past few years...this one is about as tame as it gets.

I would rather that neither happens.

If it isn’t right when one protest group does it, it doesn’t make it right for another to do it.

This is literally the rules we teach in kindergarten

This is a false equivalence - people honking their horns is not comparable to looting and burning down buildings.

You're the one who brought it up. Just because their behavior isn't as bad as it could be doesn't excuse their bad behavior.
