 I feel bad about the squirrel too but the amount of outrage over a squirrel compared to the unarmed human beings murdered by the state (cops) isn't lost on me. This is certainly a platform for "certain demographics." Don't get too lost in your narcissism, it might come back to bite you in the ass, again  
 ✊🏿Save the squirrels 🇺🇸 https://image.nostr.build/66d6b521dfed220db6a08b6ac9cc9d55211c0091329aede13492341800f9162f.jpg  
 😂 I’m not happy about the squirrels either just saying if you can’t have the same amount of empathy for your own species, you in danger girl 😂 not good 
 A squirrel life ≠ a human life 

Some people eat squirrels so there is that. 

The issue here is about property rights, not animal rights...the squirrel was property of the owner. 

Therefore, that is where this arguement should be centered, and there should be a due recourse for the owner.

 I’m not disagreeing with the outrage. I’m just saying if people were supportive of “subversive “ or marginalized communities when cops were storming onto our property killing us then maybe this wouldn’t have been such a surprise.  Fascism always starts with the outsiders then moves to the general population once they see how desensitized people are.
