Farmers were peaceful because they were in a position of privilege over many other businesses. It was being subjected to the same pressure that everyone else was that caused issues.

I get that that would be a hard transition, but you don’t get to say “they were peaceful before when others weren’t” when the lack of peacefulness from others was largely because they weren’t getting the same support and protection that these groups were getting, especially when they’re directly demonstrating in their responses now that they fundamentally agree with the issues that caused prior protests and riots, now that those issues also impact them.
