Complicated and tense situation ongoing at the D.C protest right outside the White House.

 

I just realized this comes from a extremely biased right-wing source. Antifa is not involved in these protests in particular. Apparently this guy as “attacked” by some a while back, and has a personal vendetta against the group that clearly plagues his reporting (which I learned upon doing some fact-checking on him).

Here we are in th midst of a pandemic with virus spreading to the whole world. Mass gathering will only make the virus spread further. Here we have certain countries who have just ignored social distancing and gather together in large big groups for protest. I don't know whether this is the right thing to do or not in the midst of the pandemic? The rest is all history.

Rough night. Looting, riots, and fires in cities all over the country. Apparently there are larger gatherings planned in some cities tomorrow.

 

Journalists have once again been targeted by police.

Why? I didn’t even know this was being considered.

Plus so called protestors apparently attacking people in their cars and attacking the media as well. Both sides (as far as there really are two 'sides') really need to stop throwing buckets full of oil on the fire.

India is a English name so they want Bharat, a traditional name in history .

 

This hearing  comes in between the covid 19 that too .

 

Among other big changes expected the mobile numbers will change the number of digits from 10 to 11.  The code 91+ will be changed to just 9.

We also had a car attempt to drive full speed through a crowd protestors in Bakersfield, California today as well. 
 

There still remains rather large support for protestors in spite of all the looting and violence.

My town is not immune to the protests either. Our local police shot and killed a man about 2 miles from house a few hours ago. Right now, the details of incident are really murky. Police claim he had a gun, some people claim he was blind, and no one seems to know what race he was. Nonetheless people arrived at the scene to protest. It sounds like it’s remained largely peaceful, but I can still here the police helicopter flying overhead.

And I'm ready to make puns if this passes:

 

Do you like Bharat people or Barat (Indonesian word for "West") people?
