Colin Kaepernick protested very peacefully and people were irate. The vice president went out of his way to just to walk out of a game. Let's stop with the "I'd be ok if it was a peaceful protest" nonsense. The protests in LA were peaceful until the military showed up. It was intentionally escalated because they know people will believe anything they see on TV. The burning cars didn't happen until after the military started a war.
The vice president was. And the head of the military said he should be physically assaulted. The same people calling for "peaceful protests" actively hated people for doing it. The calls are hollow. You know this, and you know what point I was making.
