You said "I don't care about protesters or their fate"
How do you feel about Jan 6th protesters going to jail?
If you still "don't care"
Good enough
I believe in your apathy
First, the fact the you did not say insurrectionists already speaks volumes.
To me protesters are putting themselves on the chopping block. Any protest.
I always suspect that there are instigators in the midst of sincerely motivated people. Any naive person joining may be in for a rude awakening when **** goes south. So, like a thrill seeker doing something dangerous, it's hard to feel bad when he gets hurt or worse. You know going in that there is a risk. When it seems there are FBI guys amping up the crowd with bad intentions, it only makes it that much more humbling. They've now been entangled in a machine with unlimited resources. So, I still lean toward a lack of concern. It was a futile gesture to storm the gates like kids at school.
