Are you seeing protests in your area today?

On my way to work, there was a long line of protesters beginning with many signs in hand. "Black lives matter" "Police need to be reevaluated" "All humans deserve respect" "All police actions should be counted for" and many more.
All I could do was hold my thumb up to show them my support. Wish I could have joined them, but I'd already told customers I'd be open today, as this is the first weekend I'm back at work.

It's sad to see what this world has become. No more innocence, no more freedom, no more safety. Just judgement, fear, and anger. *sigh* I just don't want to be a part of this world anymore.

@silentwriter180 I feel so badly for the store owners. Ugh.

@Fukfacewillie Yeah, me too. It's like they are being punished as well when they had nothing to do with any of it. I get that people are angry, but why bring it out on those who aren't involved.

One of the cities in our county had a little bit of vandalism, but most of it was graffiti. Our biggest "damage" here is litter in the park near the protest. I'm lucky to live in a small town.
