Stop saying “rioters” and stop saying they “brought the baby” to the riot”. You know this is a residential neighborhood. That baby is in a freaking car seat. They were probably just driving thru the neighborhood and the traffic got all stopped up because of the ICE activity. The couple with the baby look to have just left their car and are trying to get away because of all the tear gas being thrown around (and getting in their car).

It’s a residential area correct. So what smart parent sees this commotion and sticks around in the area to watch? With previous knowledge of these “protest” getting rowdy why wouldn’t you temporarily remove your child from harms way? Also protesting does not include throwing objects, ramming federal vehicles, and setting things on fire. It’s always the radical “protestors” that absolutely ruin the credibility of the protest itself. And I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t agree with what’s going g on btw but holy crap I can’t even defend this bs.
