I could be completly wrong though as I am not in the US so I cannot see these protests except through pictures/films.

I honestly don't know where these protests are happening unless I see them on the news. If they've happened where I live (Virginia, pretty much in the direct middle of the East Coast) then they weren't big enough to make any kind of splash. Our country is the size of a small continent that is bigger than China, and our people are spread out so far that a protest in New York, or Chicago, or wherever, is almost the same as news reports about the muslim riots in France years ago. The distance from one end of the country to the other is literally just over two thousand miles.
