This is all remarkably identical to the Maoist Cultural Revolution, their tactics and methods. Infiltrate universities, get gullible students to rally, have a cadre bring destructive methods, violence included, into those "protests".
There is a difference between peacefully protesting and rioting but both play a big part in American history.
What's going on now is similiar to what was happening in the 60s as the civil rights act was debated and passed.
64 Philadelphia Race riot: Cops beat a pregnant black woman to death. Riot for almost a week. Over 200 Stores damaged or destroyed.
64 Harlem Riot: White cop killed a 15 year old black kid. They rioted for a week, plenty of looting and beatings.
There were over 150 riots in the summer of 67. Detroit had one of the bigger ones, almost $50 million in property damage left 5,000 people homeless, 43 dead, jails full.
Then you have the protests like where MLK was arrested in Alabama and then the protests with a few riots scattered in all over the country after he was assassinated.
Of course the first "American" riots were really against the British when the patriots did stuff like throw the tea in the river or torch the British ship in Annapolis. Tons of propaganda on both sides of course to keep things exciting. Man there have been a ton of them since.
