Not really, you're just trying to undercut a right to protest here.

People can go out and protest whatever they please, they don't need to fulfil a list of prerequisites in order to validate their protest in the eyes of their detractors who will look for any reason to do so.

It's just a way of avoiding the issue, why talk about why people are protesting when you can smear them for not protesting other issues? It's just an attempt to silence voices people don't agree with.
