"You didn't drop your whole life and go to the other side of the world, so why should we expect you to show up in your own neighborhood?" is, to put it as kindly as possible, back-asswards.

I think this guy was an Obama appointee, not a current official. Anyway I said elsewhere I can see the logic of wanting a focused protest, but it's hardly the paramount concern when you're looking at this kind of escalation and deliberate provocation from the admin.

It hardly seems like a few extraneous flags are going to rock the foundations of this protest, for sure.

on the flip side I wanted to grab one of the barricadeurs and shake them while shouting "you have a few minutes of peace, start establishing a fallback position!"

Also a fair point! I'm sympathetic to the idea that a protest like this should be focused and not just a grab-bag of (often super protest-worthy!) issues, but in this case it could mean more than one thing.

Is he confusing the Mexican flag (which people definitely are waving) with the Palestinian flag?

I'm so worried for the protestors, but so proud of them for standing up.

I can’t even express how much contempt I have for these guys. They could be helping someone and instead they’re doing this. They could just be literally minding their own business but instead they signed up to be the secret police. No mercy for these fuckers ever.

And I had to call if I was having dinner at someone else's house, which was common because all the neighborhood kids just bounced around eating everyone's food and letting ourselves into people's houses to find our friends.
