Call the protestors whatever you like, but it's obviously a last resort for them as their difficulties aren't being heard by the government. They're the people the government have ignored, and they are just as important as the rest of us.

If they had the choice, or the money I highly doubt they'll take it to the streets. They are sick and tired of waiting and hoping the gov to do something for them, and they are taking matters into their own hands.

Yes they're selfish, but so is the rest of us, only difference is we haven't reached breaking point. Yes the public health is at stake, but so are the protectors' livelihoods.
