Quite ok, actually. Nobody was killed. There were no "minutemen of the patriotic revolution" in fatigues and with automatic weapons. There were fantastic, peaceful protests such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeXRmurPTRI
Yeah, there was property damage. So what?
Also, I'm not quite sure what you're actually trying to say? Are you suggesting the protests would have been /better/ if protesters had had automatic weapons?
With respect, this is a crucial point if one desires to be taken seriously by gun owners when talking about guns, because confusing it reveals a lack of basic knowledge of the subject.
Apart from some property damage and a few minor injuries it worked out pretty well. Nobody got killed and over the weekend only a single gunshot was fired (in the air).
I dont want to imagine what would happen if a protest like the g20 one would clash with the police when guns are involved on both sides...

You are deluding yourself when you call a protest with (significant, I might add) property damage fantastic and peaceful.
Are you not aware that multiple instances of arson were committed [1]?
Also:
> Yeah, there was property damage. So what?
What if this was your property? Would you be as callous if it had been your car that had been set on fire?

Are you aware that some property damage and or arson in protests is a tradition in Europe, and we don't consider it the end of the world?
It's part of what it takes to have an actual democracy and an engaged population (at least part of the population).
Sometimes, we even behead our kings and burn down their palaces.

Antifa torches cars. Neo-nazis torch asylum-seekers' hostels.
The public is more concerned with antifa because many people own a car but who owns an asylum-seeker?

Semi-automatic weapons, not automatic.

Great. The protests was free speech. The G20 and the interests they serve is what stiffles free speech.
Pretty well. Why?
