In the words of Inigo Montoya from "The Princess Bride" ...
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means"
Seriously, CNN and the left (that's redundant isn't it?) must have a very different definition of "peaceful" than the rest of us. Peaceful protests are a bunch of hippies having a sit in and singing songs. Vandalism, arson, breaking & entering, looting... These things are not "peaceful" at all. I guess CNN's definition must be if no-one is getting shot by those mean old firearms that must be banned, then it's all peaceful... What a bunch of {censored}.
This is not merely mob violence, but mob violence protected and abetted by the (mostly bat-guano crazy) “news” media. Much of America does not even know what is happening, and without an informed public, how may panic best be spread?
Tell them it is all Trump’s fault, of course. < /sarcasm >
