'Faux' or false Protester. Those who unwittingly feel good about partaking in protests that are devoid of clear messaging and/or goals, instead succumbing to public tantrums.

They are usually violent or attempt to incite violence.
They don't actually care about any particular causes. Virtue signalling is more important to them than offering solutions.
Did you see those fauxtestors at the Trump rally yesterday? Soros paid them to be there. All they did was curse at people, spit on them and then played the victim when someone stood their ground.
1. A person standing at a crosswalk distracted by their electronics. Stopping traffic but not crossing.
2. A person attempting to walk in a crowd while texting, acting like a directionless zombie.
