Kindness to those people put into this probably illegal, definitely awkward position would be far more effective than throwing sandwiches at them. Imagine inviting them to join a block party. Remember they did not sign up to be Trump's thugs.

I think this video that glorifies this frustrated man throwing not just a sandwich but throwing his life as he knew it away is not good - and the number of clicks is not a measure of effectiveness.

I feel sorry for the guy, who was fired from a DOJ job and charged with a felony for this act. He obviously has been in a position where he has seen everything we always took as normal in our government wiped away before his eyes.
