Silly. You would just prefer those people stay in there place and not bring up anything that makes you uncomfortable, huh? Protests can serve a very legitimate purpose and lead to real change and to call them all losers is just ridiculous.
"so when you riot, you destroy the message"
History totally disagrees with you. Some of the biggest societal/political changes in America and Europe happened after rioting,

The funny thing is none of those local punks came to the BLM protest here in Knoxville where they live because actual Black people would be there.Nine arrested at Rogersville BLM protest for disorderly conduct appear in court
Eight of the nine people arrested during Saturday’s Black Lives Matter protest in Rogersville were identified by police as members of a non-local white supremacist group who allegedly attempted to agitate other peaceful protesters by yelling profanity and racial slurs.
Those eight defendants are Craig Briggs Spaulding, 33, of Knoxville; Caleb Dane Rose, 21, of Knoxville; Adam Lawrence Rice, 24, of Maryville; Cory Smith, 25, of Knoxville; Stephen Parker Smith, 27, of Louisville, Tenn.; Garon Joseph Archer, 25, of Johnson City; Sean Camron Kauffmann, 26, of Vail, Ariz.; and Joshua Blakeney, 20, of Morristown.
I clicked the second link itt of curiosity. There were some arguable but weak cases made..... And then they mentioned Ferguson. The riots based on a false narrative, where people were killed and millions of dollars of damage done in the name of a lie.History totally disagrees with you.

I am a little bit older than you. I've seen how pop culture tends to prop up by providing PR services for D, Left-leaning, and radical ideologies.
We currently have riots which are founded in anti capitalism (my opinion). Now the dutiful little pawns push the "good" which comes from riots. Did we see any such support after Tea Party assemblies which were peaceful? No. And yet, there have been many peaceful protests which have also led to substantial change.
Another example, Bill Clinton lying. Back then stories were in the media about how lying is a good thing. There were even op eds written about how well Clinton manipulated the truth. Additionally, one of my history professors when discussing JFK in class casually mentioned how all great leaders have mistresses. And, since JFK philandered it was further proof of his natural leadership abilities.
There's nothing we can do about it. I don't expect anyone to change how they see the world because of this post. I just find it kind of funny how the supportive opinions are adopted and repeated so much it becomes gospel over time.
...Unless the other side does it, too.

Typical punk coward racists.
Look at these fine specimens. Why do the white supremacists and racists always look slow and inbred? I guess they need racism to feel better about their crappy life.

What does any of that have to do with rioting for change? Certainly not pop culture, JFK or Bill Clinton. I gave solid historical examples of riots that led to social/political change. None of ones I listed were supported by the media or pop culture. The Haymarket Riot, for instance, was condemned by the press in NYC. The Stonewall Riots were condemned by everyone at the time.
Yep I'm a racist SOB! Or I could just like a certain motorcycle: Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS - First Ride
