Its remarkable to see the propaganda shift from “these are unarmed protestors not terrorists with guns” to “they are terrorists and they should have had more guns”.

I’m just glad President Trump didn’t start Iraq War 2.0 with this unrest as his WMD excuse.

That isn't what was said though. Rather that perhaps if the protestors had been armed they wouldn't have been massacred so easily.

Do I become a terrorist if I defend myself against government agents who are attempting to murder me? Certainly said government agents would label me as such but hopefully a neutral third party wouldn't.
