[@MonkeyWrenching]

They (“protesters”) were using an age old tactic to attempt to demonize the enemy (store owner and co) to get a more powerful group on their side (strength in numbers) and eventually overpower them. Then the police showed up, and the “protesters” numbers didn’t increase enough to matter. Their rally cry failed, these are basic war tactics. How are people so damn blind to know this? Soooooo many of us have played these war simulator video games, watched all the movies and true crime bs tv shows. I’m sorely disappointed with the whole of our country.
