2. It would make it crystal clear that the long term under lying local problems are enraging

This is not my writing, but it does express my thoughts, "
"There is an entire history of the “outside agitator” narrative being used by political, religious, and media groups to discount political unrest and internal discontent. The term was popularized during the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement here in the United States, when Southern authorities discounted African-American protests as being driven by Northern white radicals, rather than being legitimate expressions of grievances."


My part--As the Civil Rights actions of the 60s became nationally obvious, anti racist people came to the American South, so there is some truths in that, we're seen the movie Selma.


And the fact that the C-bus PD has had decades of abuse of BIPOC citizens, the fact that the local political-business-OSU coallation that is **The Columbus Way** is not raising all boats, well having that publicly pointed out has to be enraging as hell.
