The difference between all this movement you mentioned and the one you're presently championing is that they never went around the city looting.

That’s probably true. But there was certainly violence.

When you say violence, you've to be specific on what kind of violence. Cos in any form of protest there's 99.9% chance on violence. Did they burn down churches? Did they burn down stores? Did they loot the same people they were fighting for? there's no comparison.
