A problem of definitions. The word 'liberal' has a whole bunch of meanings depending on who you ask. Someone farther on the left usually uses the term to describe people who claim to support freedoms and rights for everyone, but only as long as they themselves don't have to sacrifice a thing. People who go out to riot and get arrested for it definitely fall outside of that group.
It has a correct meaning, and the meanings the ignorant use.
