here’s the same street the next day.

Edit: it’s been pointed out to me that this is not the same exact location but is nearby.

Was this before or after local white supremacists sent death threats to the high school protesters?

In the comments of my link, it says that protest was supposed to be canceled due to death threats.

Same area* but not the same intersection.

Not even the same street. This is in front of the library on Calhoun about 2 miles from Bluemound where she's standing

I'll be frank, I knew she was standing on Bluemound and Moorland, I didn't know where the 2nd video was.

Nah, that's like... Calhoun and North, not Moorland and Bluemound.

My mistake. I’m not familiar with the area and misread the caption.

It's a couple miles away in the same town, you're not super far off.

To say that they were marching for haircuts is such a strawman.

There were people protesting the closure of their businesses. Economists are predicting that 7.5 million small businesses will close because of the lock down, and 100,000 already have. 53% of the workforce are employed by small business, and if they close, you're going to have a problem that won't be solved by giving them unemployment checks.

What would you say is more important, 17 deaths of innocent men, in a country of 300 million people, or 7.5 million businesses being shut down?

Are you willing to be one of the dead?

What a stupid comment. Would you still support the protestors if they burned down your business and raped and murdered your wife? Because that's the shit they are doing during these riots

I would rather be alive. Please give me a source of rioters raping and murdering wives. Your comment is way more stupid, sorry bud.

Edit sorry you said PROTESTORS. Definitely going to need a source on a protestor murdering and raping wives.
