to find a better source than I started out with and check things out and what not, that slipped through, Appreciated.

Also did try to see if it had been shared already, so added that.

Was worried a fair chunk of late afternoon and evening about a friend up all day at our state capital protesting, good to be able to say she's fine last update I saw, on top of everything else.

Not quite that far away geographically but similar. Guess it sorta felt that way yesterday tho..

I ended up seeing that clip in more places and its a little distressing that most of the time it was put as "national guard firing on people.." or "police firing on people..", I deliberately didn't want to post it titled that way cause I knew how anxious that felt. Added the detail about paint markers into the subject line. whether its rubber bullets or that, taking that detail out by the time I saw it spreading on facebook and elsewhere makes me double glad after I watched it for finding an actual source with the decency to be honest in the article headline, and not pushing fear. It's ridiculous enough what's going on.

so, guess you can see why you pointing out, essentially, that it wasn't breaking news, just new news, got the reaction it did
