I find it hard to believe that during a violent riot or protest that if one "team" shot one of "them" that it wouldn't be celebrated.

Look how popular George Zimmerman was, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.

The mob on January 6th.

My point isn't "Orange Man Bad" this is "Us vs Them Mob Menality" and getting swept up in the hysteria.

It's how protests and celebrations spin out of control.
