Donut, during my brief tenure in England, the college students I roomed with attended no less that 3 protests that became riotous. Admittedly, it was usually (to hear them tell it) the case where a peaceful demonstration got violent because the cops shield-walled the demonstrators into an impossibly small area. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that such a thing occurs much more over there than here. Which is why I saw bringing up Kent State as a pot-kettle-black issue. Without even needing to go into the footie idiocy riots issue.
I do take offense to the peaceful protestors (even if they threw stones) at Kent State being compared to RPG-toting assholes. Just my personal bias, of course.
