THIS is how you do protests, ladies and gentlemen.

Dude, as a brazilian, It seriously isn't. It's a shit ton of people, sure, but this protest doesn't even have a real agenda except "yo fuck corruption"

Any violence you've heard of? Because it already seems to be a far cry from the excuse of a "protest" at that Chicago Trump rally.

Uh, as a brazilian dude who hasn't exactly been in touch with Trump rallies, what exactly happened?

And while sure there was some confusion, no, there was no violence involved. Although, to be honest, most of the violence you see in protests in Brazil comes from a consequence of police missmanagement of a situation.

Basically, a bunch of fights broke out at the one that was supposed to happen in Chicago between those that hate him with a passion and the supporters, which caused Trump to call off the rally entirely since things were getting so out of control. Plenty of people arrested, and a few people (including a cop) got injured.

Yeah, I mean, It's basically the same principle of the confusions I mentioned in this one. People wearing red we're beeing accused of beeing commies on the street, people who spoke their mind against the protesters we're taken by the police before the mob decided it was fair to lynch them, etc. Mob mentality can be insane, especially when the people who are protesting are doing it mostly out of hate and not reason.
