I'm SO DISAPPOINTED!!
Defacing buildings, stopping 4 Waymos and lighting on fire, throwing molotov cocktails, rocks at officers....

I also care about the environmental impact, but it's the FULL impact that concerns me.
Like, this HAS to be a troll account, right?
You sound like a genuinely compassionate person and I am sorry for lashing out and dogpiling.
You handled this better than I ever could.
I am still hopeful that recovery from this admin is possible...but until then, stay safe out there!
I do, however, deeply appreciate the apology - the pile is kind of heavy. 😉 But I get it and I'm strong.
I also do NOT expect anyone to believe me...and it's okay if you don't. I don't know that I would - I'm a very skeptical person like that.
Nobody was hurt and just a small patch of grass caught on fire.
But the truth is - why does it matter if a molotov was thrown or not? I have no reason to lie because what difference does it make? What's happening IS happening NOW and we ALL need to be ready for what's to come.

Consider for a second though that the cops are the ones who started destroying property when they fired chemical munitions and rubber bullets at protestors. The first fire I saw in my feed was this one.

It also only works if the media covers nonviolent protests so people at home can see the cops beating the hell out of a well dressed woman who is just taking it.
We don't have those conditions
Hard pass
disappointed
You folks need to sit down, shut up, and learn how to be humans for a couple cycles before anyone wants your opinion.
But I hear your anger/pain, and I understand your desire to lash out from that anger. I'm sorry for how you're feeling - I get it.
Not the people refusing to do that.
Are we forgetting umbrella man? (et. al.)
instead - *my* condemning the violence has caused me to receive a BARRAGE of insults and (small) attacks. Nothing outrageous - but....
When a bunch of random people get tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets, some of them start burning shit. It's just a natural escalation of violence.
It still hurts my heart to see damage to THEIR community, and causes fear in me for what they may be subjected to.
But I do get it.
But if everyone did that, nobody would be protesting right now. They'd all have to wait a week for the permit to clear. And they certainly wouldn't be protesting by blocking ICE agents or shutting down traffic.
But I also think direct confrontation with ICE is also good, even if it means confronting your local PD in order to do it.
Not.
Split.
It's okay, I can take it - and people are angry. I get it. Makes me sad...but I get it.
Relax the grip on those pearls
But. you are right - I allowed myself to get distracted. I'm refocused.....
i would recommend deleting your account maybe dye your hair green and come back when you aren’t licking boots
And even though my post didn't sound like it, I absolutely do support the people with all of my heart and soul.
I don't really need to know much more.
Maybe the protesters are just trying to help some cab drivers get their jobs back?
