Hey, I completely support the protesters. If this protest is peaceful then I'll probably just call the police. But if you do something that I perceive as an immediate physical threat to my family, the logical part of my brain shuts down and the primal part turns on.
I'm not trying to justify it. I'm just telling it like it is. You won't be able to reason with me anymore than you can reason with a mother-bear whose sees her cubs in trouble. During those exact moments in time any context about the protests and any compassion I had goes out the window. All I'm thinking about is the safety of my family and will proceed to remove the threat; one way or another. I may even regret my actions afterwards but... the actions will still occur.
I'm probably getting all riled up about nothing. For all we know this could be some kind of astroturfing or another fake conflict like the fist GoogleBus incident.... this whole thing has troll written all over it. For now I'll just pretend I never even saw this article.
