I don't need to try hard to support these protesters. First, a miniscule number of people broke into places like pharmacies (might be where some of the testing results were kept), retail stores, FOOD stores-- most of these stores would have supplied them with things they might have felt jypt out of in their lives. Without using the words that would "qualify" what you really mean to say, it sounds like ALL the protesters did this looting. Instead, I might have said, "I'm really trying hard to stay neutral and support the protesters because of those who looted in the crowd," or something like that. I think more of us would feel comfortable with that insight.
Second, a lot of these protesters are millennial people. As a totally separate generation from us, they seem to think and react in many ways differently from us. If you have had children, you might have realized early on that they were not becoming "just like me".
So, bottom line... I can support your feelings because I "think" you didn't mean to paint all protesters with the same brush. Am I wrong?
