It goes
without saying… but I’ll say it: I am in favor of the issues of the
demonstrators - racism, specifically at this time.
My basic
response to the protests is concern about the looting and other violence. My
secondary response is to understand the truth about reports of so-called
outside agitators.
I am
dismayed at the looting and violence and can barely tolerate it since while
dramatic it may generally be counterproductive as the most people may be
threatened and become defensive no matter what the correctness of issues.
Relative to
outside agitators – that is a very interesting phenomenon since who is outside
the issues of racism and the pandemic and all the social and economic issues
which are problems for so many people.
Bottom line
for me – I support the demonstrators. I hope their health in this pandemic is
not adversely affected. I hope the violence and looting has come to an end and
we will now have continuing sustained peaceful demonstrations until fixes and
justice are realized.
