First they protested because they were angry that the now president-elect might not accept the results of the 2016 election. Now they riot and are angry still that he did, but don’t accept the results themselves.

Either way, we protest whenever “we” don’t get what “we” want. Sadly, there is enough hypocrisy to go around. Whatever happened to that “heal the nation” rhetoric, when protestors thought they might be “ahead.” And what an example to set for our children; they learn better in kindergarten how not to settle our differences out on the playground.
