This will be quick and to the point.
To the black bloc “protestors” who have decided that the proper way to protest is with violence, YOU AREN’T HELPING.
Standing witness to the events of the day and vocally standing for our collective values and the equality of ALL? That's patriotism. Smashing windows, throwing bricks and rocks, sending tables into lines of police? Criminal.
And to take it beyond the inauguration, these actions only justify the militarization and approach of both the federal security services and the police who are in harm’s way. YOU ENDANGER US ALL when you act out this way. You are enabling and encouraging fascists.
Ugh.
