Secondly, part of the march route was sidelined to the pavement rather than the street, which we suspect had something to do with an Army parade later…
All the more reason that victims should go to law enforcement. Do not allow a church, workplace, school, or even a college, “investigate” what is criminal activity. The rules they follow are not the same, and crimes should be investigated, and tried by the legal system, not some group who’s main interest is not justice,…
