I don't expect it to look like anything else. I think this violence is terrible, and counterproductive to any non-anarchist cause, such as joining EU. I want these people to go home...

You can't protest from your home... There is a reason all demonstration happen in public. That is because if everyone is in house they aren't sure if the other people are satisfied or poltrons or ready to cause a change.
Also don't tell me you can protest with your vote when government is ready to falsify those.
I'm only against violence and attacking police, not peaceful protests or civil disobedience. At this point, going home is the only way to get out of a situation that turned violent.
Yeah, except peaceful protests are banned and civil disobedience is useless. If you gather in the square the police has the right to beat you and arrest you, and they are fighting to oppose that. If you do nothing, you are silently accepting laws against protests and freedoms as just and fair. Between those choices, the only solution is violence, to show that state isn't strong enough to suppress you.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than
a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
