Many of my classmates are FB friends, and many of them have gone hard right, politically. Most of what I've seen is along the lines of "the violence is disgusting" and "support the police", but I've seen some fairly racist comments as well. Currently, I'm seeing a lot of sharing of the video of the mom beating her kid for taking part in the riots.
