Peaceful Protestors

A large building burns, black-clad thugs dance around it, reporter stands in front of flames claims they are ‘peaceful’ protestors. A courthouse surrounded, lasers used to blind officers, fireworks shot at building, media claims they’re ‘peaceful’ protestors. City-blocks ruled by thugs, terrorized citizens watch children shot, mayor sides with the traitors, claims they’re only ‘peaceful’ protestors. State democract congressman attacked outside of the capital itself, the news downplays it still, claims they’re only ‘peaceful’ protestors. Women driving home on her car, surrounded by ‘protestors’ with clubs, guns, they attack her car, smash her windshield,; fears for her life, she hits the gas to escape, thugs are hurt, media claims, ‘Right-wing extremist! Nazi’ …? …! Eff these lefties. They stopped being ‘protestors’ a long time ago. Lock them all up.

... Smashingly poinant ending.! Lots of leeway has been given to protesters. Media eats it up. Perpetuating cycle. The outlawing of brand names is a bottomless can of worms. Your poem makes their ridiculous plight apparent.
