Yeah.

Because I am on the ground and I have been attacked before previously.

And so even if I am the subject, I still try to be very neutral with that.

But this was,

One of the most brutal things I've ever experienced, and I think it was just terrifying, too, because I had a man three times my size violently slam me to the ground, and again, all unprovoked.

Sure.

So I do point and shoot journalism.

I've been doing this since the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 because the media oftentimes does not do this job.

They won't go on the ground and they won't actually stay at a protest and follow what's going on.

And so that's what I do.

And in situations like this one, I specifically make a point not to interview the left-wing protesters in attendance because I know how volatile and violent they can be.

So I was there to simply point and shoot journalism.

They were having their nationwide F-ICE protest.

This was happening in Minneapolis, Chicago, and L.A.

They were using sex toys as one of their protest objects.

So there were many of those, you know, being utilized and swung around.

It was a very, quite frankly, silly and disturbing scene.

So I was there to conduct point-and-shoot journalism, and I was there for a good 45 minutes to almost an hour, you know, untouched and fine because I pressed badge out.

You're not engaging.

Yeah, I was standing with the other.
