Don't let the downvotes get to you.

A lot of people are really angry and scared, and they'll take that anger out on anyone that gives them a convenient lightning rod.

I also read the article. I know you're telling the truth. They treated the man fairly. It was just... It's something for news to yell and scream about to rile everyone up and make people more and more afraid.

Keep telling the truth and sharing the truth when you see it.

It will help some of the tension de-escalate.

You know what would De-escalate the tension? If the president respected the letter and spirit of the laws of the land, upholding his oaths of office.
