There wasn't a "both sides." Only a wrong side.
But using the situation as an opportunity to dishonestly portray the situation needs to be called out.
Here are postings of the video from earlier today which show the conveniently edited video missing the portions which shows them in "protester gear" and that they were shot with pepper pellets, not bullets or rubber bullets (hundreds of thousands of upvotes and it was the top two videos on reddit this morning when I look at it around 9 and there were 2 other postings of the video in the top 20 list, meaning, this same video shared 4 of the top 20 slots for multiple hours):

And before you say it, how they are dressed should not matter. But covering up the fact that they were protesters dressed "and ready to go" does explain some of the emotional and illegal reaction from the NG in that situation. Something that the person, who dishonestly edited the video, wanted to cover up to make the situation like far far worse (including making it seem like they were shot with bullets).
Don't tell me you don't see that as dishonest and trying to stoke the flames of this violence. The National Guard are wrong. But being dishonest with how this was represented by cutting off the last few seconds of the video, to whip people up into more of a frenzy, is also dishonest. You were quick to jump on the wagon when I found that video of the dude confronting what looked like undercover police acting as instigators. But not so quick to call-out people dishonestly editing videos like this. Either be honest about the facts, regardless of the "side" or admit you are a hypocrite.
I try to do my best to stick to the facts. When I see dishonesty from any angle, I won't stand for it.

Yes you should be required to read an entire post before making an ignorant knee-jerk reaction like you have been. Don't like making really really cringey posts that clearly indicates you have the attention span of a goldfish? Be less of an emotional reactionary and read like an adult.
We can avoid these waste of time convos. And I don't particularly enjoy having to tell you to re-read my posts because we clearly agree but you're too obstinate and emotional to make it far enough into the post.
