which means that there should have been MORE THAN ENOUGH of the peaceful protesters to keep the naughty ones in line...alas, perhaps similar to how many muslims silently support the violent ones, many/most of the "peaceful" protesters didn't really care about the violence occurring around themselves.

217 out of 1,000,000 protestors is about 0.02%. Just an FYI. The vast, vast majority of protestors were peaceful.

In other words, assuming there were really were like 1000000 million protestors, you've shown that 99.98% of them are meek fellow travellers who are too chicken to fight in the front lines.
Why hasn't that over the hill hag, Madonna been charged with inciting violence?

Israel just shoots Palestinian protesters, especially women and children. Trump should shoot any protester for treason and terrorism.
My goodness, your false narrative gets tiresome.
Sheesh, in Roumania the Socialists after winning in December are changing the criminal code (w/o parliament approval) to get their cronies out of jail, and you think you have problems?
PS. We protest peacefully in Bucharest.

There were *not* a million million protesters. Shoot, there aren't a million million people on the planet!

There were not 1,000,000 protestors there.
Not all of the non-peacevul protestors were arrested.
Rioting is not the only thing of nonpeaceful protest.
Your post contains many errors.

Ah, so many people saying we can't blame the whole crowd for the actions of a few. Really? I was at the 9/11 Tea Party rally where hundreds of thousands of people showed up (MSM lied about the numbers) and not ONE act of violence of vandalism occurred. In fact we cleaned up our own trash.
But every one of us was called uneducated violent nazi racists blah blah blah. They had to make up stories to accuse us all of being Deplorable people. No one EVER have us the benefit of the doubt.
Therefore, Trump!

That said, this is the exception to the norm and you should not stereotype all the protests and marches as such.
Well, how can you blame the protestors if the US destroys other people's properties in illicit wars?
I also am strongly opposed to many of this govenrment's actions in other countries, it is despicable how we discount the lives of other civilians.
No one is facing jail time for using free speech.
Those facing serious jail time are those that can be prosecuted for committing violent crimes.
And I don't know anyone who disagrees with that.
Those 200 arrests were from Friday's inauguration protests and they were for idiotic acts of criminals.
There were zero arrests in DC for the much larger protest of the women's march on Saturday.
Add me to the list of others saying absolutely charge those arrested with the appropriate crimes.
Must be boring thread when you realize everyone wants them prosecuted.
I think people are confusing Friday's rioting with Saturday's protests. Friday saw small pockets of rioting, a few hundred people were arrested. Their actions are unacceptable and the jail time they face comes from laws and a legal system that existed long before Trump and serves us all. Saying it is somehow a suppression of free speech is nonsense, if you break windows, start fires, and assault police officers, you go to jail. That people who violently broke the law will be punished for doing so doesn't make Trump a dictator or his supporters Nazis.
Saturday's march had 600,000 people in DC and 3+ million nation wide and virtually no incidents like this. In fact there were zero arrests made in DC, and no riots of any kind. People assembled legally and peacefully. The intention of those people was to state that while one party has a monopoly on government power right now, they do not have a mandate from the people to enact sweeping right-wing reform. While the conservative politicians and those who support them likely will not acknowledge that the protests had any effect, it is hoped by the millions of people that marched that voicing their beliefs, opinions, and fears collectively and loudly will cause some moderation of the pending political agenda.
God bless America.
aren't those rioters being prosecuted under a law signed by Obama
Correct - they are all from the Friday protests vs Saturday's march.

Uh oh, sounds like Obama did something that everyone can get behind!
Banzhaf said, “What can be done is changing the tone and saying that when you engage in serious criminal acts which hurt others … this may finally have a reasonable deterrent effect†on future mayhem.
“The threat of real prison time, and huge fines, will help deter many protesters who think engaging in criminal acts for a cause is appropriate, especially if the penalties are usually minor, if indeed they are even even imposed.â€
http://www.valuewalk.com/2017/01/inauguration-day-rioters-jail/In the past, some protesters have even welcomed being arrested at a demonstration, seeing it as a badge of courage and conviction. Sometimes they were even able to turn their trials into very effective soap boxes for their causes by raising defenses such as “necessity,†self defense, etc. This may be coming to an end, suggests Banzhaf.
