    Sure. Fine. Protest. I support your right to do so, and in this case I support your cause. However, the US government cannot chase down every rogue citizen that jumps into active conflict because of their bleeding heart. If this had been someone on vacation before the violence started then it would be different. This man was there to stir up shit. That’s the risk he took.

Find out. Sure, sometimes the circumstances call for fucking around. That doesn’t mean you don’t get the other part.
