Actually a detail, that could apply to many on both sides.

Yet more importantly not wise to add or delete, mock to suit your view.

Here's one for you to chew on.

R U old enough to remember. Were you there?

So while many want to suggest how terrible things are today. Perhaps they should brush up on their history.

There were a number of protest incidents that turned severely violent, even resulting in deaths. In one case, attorney Theodore Landsmark was attacked and bloodied by a group of white teenagers as he exited Boston City Hall. [11] One of the youths, Joseph Rakes, attacked Landsmark with an American flag. [12] According to Landsmark, Rakes was swinging the flag and trying to hit him, not trying to spear him as it appears in the photo, and he narrowly missed. [13] A photograph of the attack on Landsmark, The Soiling of Old Glory taken by Stanley Forman for the Boston Herald American, won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography (now the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography) in 1977. [14] [15] In a retaliatory incident about two weeks later, black teenagers in Roxbury threw rocks at auto mechanic Richard Poleet's car and caused him to crash. The youths dragged him out and crushed his skull with nearby paving stones. When police arrived, the man was surrounded by a crowd of 100 chanting "Let him die" while lying in a coma from which he never recovered. [7]
