Yes thats just the way it should be.

The violent minority of any protest are unbelievably stupid and annoying. They make it so easy for the protest to be disregarded as hooliganism, and sadly this appears to be another case of that. What complete and utter idiots that can't control themselves and spoil it for everybody else.

They have no intention of controlling themselves, who goes to a march with a firework and a mask in their pocket

And I am NOT blaming the 'many for the acts of the few' if you mean students by that, I am saying that I do not believe that it IS only a few, because the evidence seems to be that too many are masked, and those that aren't who are not seen to be actively taking part in unlawful acts, still appear to be supportive and condoning those who are by their grinning and laughter.

If we are proffering true democracy here with the use of 'the many and the few', then what about the 'MANY' of us who are not protesting but have to pay for the cost of all the damage and police man hours increasingly incurred by these protests of the 'FEW'?

No is isn't a misnomer... the majority are peaceful and some were not, I have mentioned that.
Whether student protest or anti austerity they have much public support, it's impossible to say if those that think as you do are in the majority or not.

Hadn't you heard, protests are being privatised; at least in London.

Given the population of this country and the number attending this 'peaceful protest', I would wager that more think as I do than not, but I'm still waiting for you to list all those 'Peaceful Protests' you claimed, because as far as I am concerned they all end up this way.

can we please stop referring to grown adults as "students"? it infantilizes them. If they are over 17 then they are adults. period.

I think your wrong here, I think that the students have massive support especially from tutors.
I won't be making you any lists kirk, some protests may have incidents inflated due to the actions of some during the protest. It doesn't detract from the reason for, or the strength of feeling of the majority of those attending, who simply wish to show they are united in their opposition to the issue they are facing.

But what if they are over 17 and students lol? My mum went back to school in her late 30's and then through uni and masters. (She was getting student discount in her 40's lol). She wasn't infantilized tho, she was empowered by it and said it made her more confident in life, having not been educated before.
