Nope. If I had been there to "protest the removal of a statue," even though that statue had been erected to intimidate and terrorize black people after they were freed from slavery, and had been marching alongside terrorists with tiki torches shouting "Jew will not replace me!" and "blood and soil," faces contorted with rage and hatred, I would have left, unless I felt some kinship to them. You cannot march alongside terrorists and claim innocence. No. Quit trying to defend the indefensible.
