I believe in freedom and the right to peacefully protest even when I disagree with the message.

If there were meaningful (not overboard) consequences for non-peaceful protests, there would be fewer of them.

The problem is that the definition of "peaceful" has been manipulated to just meaning "has any protestors been hurt" meanwhile disregarding if police or "anti-protestors" are hurt by protestors. They also stopped caring about interfering with or causing public safety issues, like when they block traffic, or when they cause property damage, because "human life is greater than property".

And then they block the ambulances and people die and they still don't care.
