Remember, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything there’s no shame in taking some time for yourself.
It’s like a choir- each individual takes a breath when they need, but the music continues and you can join the song again when you’re ready.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
