41. Respectfully, people here hate these agitators that pull this bullshit but it happens during major protests.

It sucks... but no one condones it. Protest leaders, government leaders, neighborhood leaders, law enforcement and citizens always plead for no violence and they always condemn it when it happens.

It may have never escalated to this level without ICE ripping people out of their places of business and grabbing anyone with melanin. Mix in the National Guard and voila, you have a bigger protest with easier cover for agitators and fringe elements.

Fetterman should have said what countless others have already said before him and that it is wrong and illegal for Trump to intervene and peaceful protests should continue without violence.
