A separate protester in attendance outside Saturday's parade said he "fully supported" those activists who "want to throw rocks" as long as they don't hurt anyone in the process.
"Honestly – they have a right to be angry. They have a right to do what they feel like they need to do to stop this issue, to stop fascism," he said. "And, honestly, I fully support that. I fully support if they’re angry and they want to go out and they want to throw rocks. As long as they don’t hurt anyone, you know, I can understand, I can honestly do."

"I think it’s wrong to create violence, but, like, he said, I mean I think people have been angry for a long time," a second protester added, noting he thinks Trump is the reason to blame for all the aggressive tactics, like throwing rocks, setting fires and vandalism.
"What Trump is doing, he knows the polarization and the anger he’s causing, so this is all part of his game plan. The National Guard in L.A., he caused that. He said go out there without Newsom saying anything. I mean, he knows what he’s doing, he wants to cause a rise out of people."

Another protester present Saturday, who spoke to Fox News Digital, said she believed "being abrasive" is against the interests of those seeking to make change but that "history has proven that sometimes aggression is needed."
"All respect to them, I think that they are doing what they think is right, but I think being very abrasive is against our interests, actually. I think it drives away a lot of people, it doesn’t really foster the conversations that we need," a protester who identified herself as Sophie said. "I don’t think being aggressive is the way to go, but I think history has proven that sometimes aggression is needed, so, but I don’t want to be abrasive."
