8. So upset by this, and so grateful no one was killed.

I belong to a craft forum. After posting about my experiences at a local protest I got a reply from a protestor from Minnesota. It was the first time they had gone to a protest. They were met by the organizer, told about the Hortmans and Hoffmans, then told that participating would be at their own risk. They chose to stay! It was a small town near the killings, and they had the most protestors they had EVER had! (Take that, Krasnov, Minnesotans are tough!) Most of the cars going by were supportive at their rally. The police provided officers to protect them, too. To me this protestor is a hero, standing up despite knowing there could be real danger. So glad there was not. This protestor's story is an additional reason for me to hope that we can outlast Krasnov, and we can figure out a new way forward. It will be difficult. Krasnov, the republican party, and the MAGAS have a tsunami of evil to answer for--but for the first time in over a decade, I have hope the tide is turning and justice will eventually be headed their way!
