2. Protests have been common over the decades - until the previous administration

4. Oh, wow! I certainly do remember that, an epic tragedy

Bringing tear gas, then guns to use against college kids. I was younger when that actually happened, but I learned even more details when my college friend did an independent study course examining everything that happened there - from the POV of Allison Krause who was killed that day.

5. It was good to see this topic so calmly and clearly presented...

...without the harsh, raw anger from all sides that so many are allowing to derail the discussion.
