It's shameful to have reporters with emotions 'n stuff. The question should've been asked politely, softly, with a smile. Better yet, the question shouldn't have been asked. Genocide is bad, certainly, but we must have good manners and proper decorum.

I get it. We all do it.

Governments and corporations are killing us, en masse, and we rightly feel enraged about it. Tbf, I can see how I sounded a bit "this protest is pointless" which is not what I meant to do.
