In most of these movements that discipline isn’t maintained. What do you think happens when thousands of students, many of whom are discovering a city the first time in their lives, suddenly realize they can set grand things on fire?
There’s certainly the core movement that is disciplined, but its very hard to control the beasts in the fringes.
Your comment about students is absolutely unfair, and wrong.
The students are much more civilized than the goons and deployed police. The political wing of the party consists of uneducated street locals, or students who are not smart, and easy to manipulate, and looking for easy way to get to the top. I have worked with them, and I know their level.
And the students are the one who allows to go all the emergency vehicle peacefully. Never heard any students attacking an ambulance. Refer to safe roads movement by the students few years back.
Things go bad only when government goons gets involved. They are the beasts you are trying to make the students to be.
Can confidently say, all the previous student protests, along with this one, students have never been the violent one.
But we civilians are more afraid of violence from the ruling party's goon. These people are coming from some remotest parts of the country, have no good education, but empowered by the government to do anything deemed necessary to stop people's movement.
