Sorry but I find your response a bit flippant in the face of what is actually happening there. People are traumatized, losing income, losing family members, but banding together to stay strong. The least we outside of the area can do is to help in what ways we can. I don't mean to preach, but there is real suffering happening.

watching the developments tonight and officials asking people to go home as they try to tamp down encounters with federal officials. We all know the orange guy wants a reason to sow unrest and officials are asking for people in Minneapolis to not take the bait, hence my comment.

Again, sorry if my comment appeared to be unkind.
