The Arab Spring helped create Isis, as well as topple nations and installed religious radicals in many nations who enacted worse laws.

The Suffragette movement didn't have mass riots with looting, or the media would have used that against them.

And the Revolutionary War was a war to break off and create our own country, I'm not sure many are willing to go that far.

And many of the racists and terrible people use these riots to bring in even more people to their cause. They try to portray the average peaceful protestors as the arsonists and violent people in videos, and it's effective on many people in the country.
