People are indeed very angry. That's why they're making threats, and it's a good reason to be concerned about them. But anger is *at best* orthogonal to having a good argument. If you sympathize, that's on you; threats won't make your case for you.

violence of any kind verbal or otherwise is not ok. Ive made that clear and nuance is also key to a good argument. Empathy is also nice. Understanding why people are angry is usually a good start when healing rifts. Extremism is always stupid but in America is gets noticed.

Well let them eat cake then shall we? Violence of any sort is never OK. Killing unarmed African american guys is never OK. Where criminal damage occurs it should be policed and punished but a little empathy for the larger issue at hand is reasonable.
