YouTube served up to RantWoman the following item unbidden
SEATTLE COPS ARREST NOTORIOUS ANTIFA MILITANT DURING ANTI-ICE PROTEST
This is a scene from what was reported to be a protest against Trump administration immigration, er mass deportation policies.
The video was contributed by a little regarded "journalist" known for work that depicts Seattle as a tear gass filled dystopia full of homeless people and other modern urban horrors. But PLEASE don't shoot the messenger.
RantWoman's point: There is NOTHING about this exact clip that says "We are very concerned about the safety of people most vulnerable to Carrot Man's machinations. NOTHING that says we value all the contributions that immigrants make to our community. NOTHING that says "Yep, there are a small percentage of really dangerous creeps among immigrant populations, but heck, there are plenty of disgusting creeps among the non-immigrant population as well."
Maybe the woman in the video was having a bad day. Maybe she is grasping for more varied vocabulary and a clearer message. Either way, please tolerate a bit of motherly advice. If possible, there are PLENTY of scared people who need well-aimed assistance. Also, Protest Curmudgeon has plenty else to talk about, so pretty please....
