That one chick is putting words in his mouth. He didn't say dont protest, he said dont burn your home to the ground in anger. He was talking about setting things on fire while in a hyper emotional state, not just go home and wait till November

Wow, one need only see the entire 6 minute or so actual speech to see how he's being misrepresented.
