Tis my opinion that we may get to that point faster than we want to, because I don't see a clear definition of 'peaceful protest'.
Call me crazy, but I don't see how 1,000 people walking onto a highway, & stopping traffic is 'peaceful'. In this instance, you are disrupting someone else's life because of your own belief. When you disrupt someone else's life, it generally causes anger, and the cycle of violence begins.
