@MothersVictims @UhaiWetu @OHCHRKENYA @MissingVoicesKE The alternative to protesting violence is for violence to continue. Diplomats in kenya, govt. and private officials should speak out loudly to protest this act by cowards who do not respect the law.

@igorbobic So they could field all these guys to protect the Lincoln memorial from no one, but they can't protect the senate?

@anneapplebaum Good point. #human rights. Clear political move designed to win votes as a law and order candidate to make up for poll decline over pandemic. Federal police are not trained in crowd control and one was heard says: “We don’t want to be here.” Shameful silence of commanders.

#humanrights In 1939 some 20,000 American Nazis, including children, rallied in New York City -while crowds of anti-Nazis protested outside. Hitler was building more Jewish extermination centers at the time. theatlantic.com/video/index/54…
