If you're going to include individual incidents, you should include the CHAZ/CHOP shooting, and the various "people beat up the car as it drives through" occurrences too. Sure, those cars may have done something to offen

Molyneux being an extremist does not mean that Danmore must necessarily be an extremist. Contrary to what many people seem to believe, you can appear on a talk show with someone you disagree strongly with, or be interviewed by the same. And
