Did you feel that tone shift from, you know, peaceful protests to not so peaceful?
You do.
And you showed that in the beginning.
It was the Friday night one where they were swarming the Canopy Hotel.
It was actually interesting.
We talked to the Canopy Hotel security and they didn't even know.
No one told them if ICE agents were staying there.
So these protesters didn't know.
I'm not sure how they got the idea that they were staying there.
But at night you do notice a tone shift.
And I think it's, I don't know if it's the darkness or whatever, but they come out in drones.
They seem angrier at night.
They're banning these materials.
And then you saw them, they broke down one of the doors into the hotel.
Again, nothing as violent as George Floyd, but you did see them attacking a cop car at one point, like not letting it through.
I saw other videos of them, I think, hurting some other conservative influencers, again, happening at night.
And so you saw that, but basically I think that they wanted to, and I was told this, George Floyd, they thought really the violent protest actually hurts the movement, hurt Black Lives Matter.
And so you actually saw other protesters reigning in, other ones when they got violent.
And so you could see a conscious effort to make sure that this didn't become like what it was in 2020, because I don't think they want to...
you know, hurt their case in any way.
