    How does a truly peaceful protest make a community "unsafe"? Does a truly peaceful protest include people being "accosted"? I don't think it does. so if people are being "accosted" we're not talking about a peaceful protest.

    So what "rights of others" are threatened or being deprived if a protest is, in fact, peaceful? People keep bringing up rioting, looting, etc., and that was not part of the question, nor is it the topic of the thread.
    How can peaceful people blocking roads and or access to homes, businesses. Make the community safe. Even if they dont get violent?


    Blocking people from their work. Is safe Right? Not moving out of the way keeps it safe Right?

    Easy example... blocking roads and preventing transit. Disrupting commerce.

    Maybe something like this. While I'm not sure if they're breaking any laws, they're certainly infringing on the other people's right to enjoy themselves. Maybe that's not a "right" in the legal sense, but they're being annoying and intimidating and they're only making themselves look bad.

    What BLM thinks or disagrees with is not relevant to this discussion. If your streets are not being blocked and you aren't being denied access to homes and businesses, once again - what "rights" are being violated?

    I didn't even watch the entire video and I saw disturbing the peace, theft by consumption and destruction of private property. Not peaceful, and so does not relate to the question in the OP.

    None.....but then with actual reality. That would be the time you are living. in. Peaceful Protestors who did not get violent. Have blocked streets and homes and businesses that people were trying to get to.


    You didnt want to say that wasnt happening now did you?


    Btw BLM says their protests are peaceful. So that means they would be relevant to this subject.
