Peaceful assembly and petitioning of grievances is a good 
thing. I have participated many times.  We agree strongly on

Burning your own car is probably legal, but burning other 
people's cars, looting, attacking LE and such is described 
in the law as 'mob action' or 'riot' and goes well beyond 
protected rights.
