But then I see gangs of armed white people storm the state capitol so they can demand they can go eat out and get haircuts and I wonder how different I react than so many other people.
This is where I wish I was paying more attention to it. Was the response to the protesters in this instance different from the onset and that caused things to escalate? I don't know, but I could see that being the case and if so, well, I get it. The problem is that there is so much misinformation out there that getting to the facts is tough.
