It's not me whose missing anything here. "Public perception" is rank with fucking idiocy. Nothing in the world true or real can change that. At this moment in time, under these circumstances and conditions, with people doing what they're doing, and the press acting as it does, there is absolutely no point in softening to try to appease the fucking idiocy with soft treatment.

I don't think you fully realize what the "reality" we're living in really is. Those aren't good people on the street. The good people are huddled up in their houses and apartments while goddamn apes are allowed to instigate fights on the ground, because men in skyscrapers or in very sturdy public buildings surrounded by security will it so.

If you think that this is a problem of perception, I just don't even know what to tell you. Words aren't spells. Perception is not reality. Violence is real. You're looking at pawns and ignoring everything happening around them that makes things like this. You're crying "unfair!" at the people who are being aggressed against. Yes, we would all very much like for all the bad happenings to stop. If you successfully got the good guys here to stop, that would let the bad guys own the field.

That's the way to a further spiraling hellscape of more violence and despair. That's the point you're missing. Necessary corrective steps--ones you probably agreed with yesterday--are being employed. This is what that looks like. It's not clean or pretty, especially when those with the mops are beset by fucking brownshirts who've been given carte blanche, encouraged even, to hit the street and try and stop them.
