I know this sort of thing can be infuriating, but maybe we should consider some context. The article says “several hundred activists” demonstrated. This is from a population of about 150 million. Even Code Pink could probably drum up more of a demonstration — in a red state.

This probably is made into news because someone at Earth Times wants to write something to be derogatory about the U.S.

Yes, that very tiny minority is empowered when we leave out the context.
