Another point to consider about many of the protests over the weekend. Most were peaceful. Some were not.
Let's have a look at the protests that have occured in the US, UK, France, Spain and Canada over the past 10 years... how many of these protests were hijacked by idiots who then proceeded to get violent. Some, not all.
Should we say then that all those who would protest Globalization (for example) are violent? That all people living in countries that have had protests like these are uncivilized barbarians? The answer is no (in case you couldn't do the math).
What the media shows us is a couple of shots of peaceful protest followed by inflamatory scenes of violence. The violence is way more titilating and therefore it is "the story to follow".
