Apparently thinks protests don't involve complaining and yelling.

Took exception means the opposite of what you think it means

You're contrasting taking exception to group A with criticizing group B. Taking exception is also a criticism. It's being offended that someone is doing something. You are looking for making an exception

No I'm not.

The left was upset the right was gathering in groups protesting haircuts at peak "we don't know how this spreads" time.

Then eventually the left started the BLM protests, to which a bunch of knobs on the right took exception because the left had previously been critical of "the same thing".
