  • Dang, changing a flag? That’s pretty scary.

    I can think of a few other protests/riots that were a lot more violent and dangerous, that occured in a similar time period in the US, that seem to be all but forgotten…

    Burning down city centers, looting from small businesses. Murdering people indiscriminately. It’s strange what the online community has fixated on.

    Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.

    I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.

    Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: “insurrection.” None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.

    A mostly peaceful protest.
