I don't know why you sent this reply. I very rarely go to protests, because I am autistic and don't like crowds and the reason that I originally did censorship circumvention research was seeing the police riot that was the Pittsburgh G20. My deceased aunt had given me the money for a camera and an smartphone when I left for graduate school, and I got the sense folks were sometimes hamming it up when I was around, so I put the word out if I ever go a protest again, it's because I think they might start shooting. (That happened in about 2020 -- we got a new Mayor, and one congressmen who I felt was not doing his job properly decided to never run for office.) Blue lives matter in the sense that you shouldn't shoot someone who comes to you with a valid warrant, but that phrase is a piece purposefully divsive rhetoric, aritficially boosted by a variety of forces hostile to free expression. Please don't troll like this in my replies ever again. I am a longtime HN user, and I prefer to simply chat about cool hacker stuff and upvote things in the new queue not... have interactions like this comment, which I just noticed and paused everything to reply to. (Feel free to reply if you have a sincere misunderstanding of anything above.)
