I'm well aware of the potential outcomes of this situation and if anything that makes her decision more cowardly. Every person that leaves is telling those who can't leave that their lives are less important, that I was on your side for as long as I believed it wouldn't cost me anything to say so. That's some fair-weather friend bullshit if I've ever heard it.

You can defend her decision if you like but I am choosing to stay and fight, whatever that ends up meaning, despite having the means and ability to leave and you will never convince me that that isn't the decision every truly patriotic American should be making too.

It's not about being tough physically it's about deciding not to run away. I've seen pictures of 100 year old men, blind people, and folks in wheelchairs at these protests. If they can do it then an able bodied middle aged woman can too. She's choosing not to because she's afraid and that is the definition of cowardice whether you like it or not.

It's hard to tell from this one report but it doesn't seem like this was a particularly bad outcome. Of course it's unfortunate that a bystander was killed but it sounds like they successfully prevented an even worse outcome. Besides, there are tons of stories of cops injuring or killing more than one bystander in situations like this. When it comes down to it I'm more inclined to trust the judgment of a commited private citizen than the police.

Probably not, but that's the most that's been asked of this lady so far and she couldn't even muster the courage to do that. Running away before you make any attempt to fight for all the people who made you who you are is some weak shit.

Sounds like it doesn't but ok

It doesn't take much bravery to stand in a crowd with hundreds or thousands of other people.

I'm here protesting and standing up to fascism and that's where I'll stay until this ends one way or another

When I use this tool it destroys the planet and gives me bad information but I am going to keep using it.

Umm OK, good luck with that I guess.

You'd rather the protesters rely on the police to do this kind of thing? The group shooting them with rubber bullets and tear gas canisters?

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
