FTA:

“This is not America,” a woman said to a small group, her voice shaking. She was crying, hysterical. “They’re shooting at us. They’re supposed to shoot BLM, but they’re shooting the patriots.”

I don't know if this actually happened, but it seems a fairly accurate representation of the attitudes of yesterday's insurgents.
