Oh, by the way, I think I should address why yesterday's protests were as devoid of violence as they were. It's simply because of the numbers. Counterprotesters from the Proud Boys, and various other fascist street gangs, showed up to start shit, but they tucked dick and ran when they saw how outnumbered they were. Of course, the cops still largely back the fascists, but they need them to instigate conflict with the protesters first to give them pretext to start bashing skulls, and it just didn't happen because the fascists were outnumbered, and they're, on a fundamental level, cowards.
Of course, there were still isolated incidents of fascists trying to pull guns on protesters, but they were few and far between, and they all got dealt with quickly.
