Flutterby™! : I stayed out on the Washington Street

I stayed out on the Washington Street side of the library most of the day, so I missed the really ugly stuff. I talked with one guy who felt like he'd had some good engagement with one of the protesters, but today I'm just hearing about interactions that make these bigots sound like Sonoma County's own version of Westboro Baptist. Anyway, they were outnumbered, the event was apparently very well attended, and I really wish we could get out "allies" to stop shitting on the cops during these events, because I believe at least one had kids inside.

But the challenge with protests and counter-protests is that there are all sorts of groups trying to hijack the message.

Good on the Argus for this editorial.
