Because I've seen nobody here. Zero, supporting those people. The issue seems to be, who are these people? I don't believe these are "protesters". I believe these are provocateurs who camouflage as protesters to paint the righteous movement in a bad light. How many examples of this do we need before we stop jumping to believe everyone who claims to be a protester?
