Spurred by fear and outrage, protesters around the country rallied and marched Friday as they have done daily since Donald Trump's presidential election victory.
The spirited demonstrations on college campuses and along downtown streets were mostly peaceful following previous outbreaks of window-smashing and fire-setting.
Evening marches disrupted traffic in Miami and Atlanta while organizers said people gathered on Boston Common in what was billed as a rally for peace and love.
Earlier, hundreds of people attended another "love rally" in Washington Square Park in Manhattan.
Leslie Holmes, 65, a website developer from Wilton, Connecticut, took an hour-long train ride to the demonstration — her first protest since the 1970s, when she hit the streets of San Francisco to oppose the Vietnam War.
She described herself as an armchair liberal but declared, "I'm not going to be armchair anymore."
"I don't want to live in a country where my friends aren't included, and my friends are fearful, and my children are going to grow up in a world that's frightening, and my granddaughters can look forward to being excluded from jobs and politics and fulfilling their potential, so I'm here for them," she said.

Then she needs to move. None of those protestors will change a thing - they need to get over it and stop whining and crying.

What in the world is this woman talking about??
This is just irrational hysteria.
Their missing a good chance to sue the 6 major news media for their terrorist actions of spewing lies and propaganda that caused this brain washing of so many people...
I just watched Obama's news conference and not once did he address the disorderly conduct going on in our Country. Never in our modern history have we seen riots after an election. Obama continues support racial division, period.
Pull your pants up. after changing your diapers, and than go out and get a job for darn sake....be producive in life!
Here's my take on the protests:
1% of the crowd are paid community organizers/protesters.
10% Seriously concerned Americans.
15% People of color (waiting patiently for the first store window to break).
74% Mostly comprised of college students and young people just having one hell of a great time, hoping to hook-up.

😂😂😂 The only fear those kiddies feel is now they'll have no excuse to stay in the parents' basements that sounds good anymore. They'll actually have to work for their benefits now. Oh No...Mr. Bill! 😯😯😯
These people are idiots.They watch too much tv and read too many liberal blogs..they have NO Common Sense!!! Anyone with half a brain knows you can't change America overnight..some of the campaign will be successful but we can't throw people in jail or deport millions in just four years..and no ones rights can be completely tread upon..so stop crying and get a life morons!!!
George Soros money is fueling these protestors
The Clintons and Obamas are as much to blames as George Soros, who is funding and encouraging these protests. He has much to lose, not being able to manipulate politicians with Trump's win, and is on a warpath against Trump.
This woman needs to take off her blinders and see more of the Country and the World.
Half the country had to live in your liberal three ring crap circus for the last eight years and didn't cry or riot. Grow up.
Tax cheats George Soros and Al sharpton stiring unrest because they lost Democrats to protect them.
It is NOT outrage and fear fueling these riots; it's Soros/Clinton Money. Period...they are paying from $17-34 per hour. GET IT!!!
"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves." Romans 13:1-2

How about some exegesis?
Interpretation?
The authorities that exist are appointed by God.
If they are not appointed by God, then, they are not authorities?
just a thought and a stab at it.
They are being paid to protest. Already Trump is creating jobs.
