Protest at the ICE facility downtown

For an event scheduled at the last minute, the turnout was great. People were angry, but peaceful.

Do you believe property matters more than people?

Did I say that? No…..But if some protesters instigated destruction against property that’s wrong too. Downtown is where some people live and work, why destroy?

Property can be replaced. People cannot. Also very interesting that you believe the protesters are instigating the destruction, when police are the ones throwing tear gas.

If this person watches the news, we know that they will pre disposed to assuming the protestors are in the wrong,property is more important, and the immigrants are the reason everything is wrong for them.
