The post got deleted by the author, probably because he realized what """positive""" light he throws on the peaceful protesters. I was lucky to still find it thanks to a screenshot:
>To the asshole who vandalized my car as my wife and I left the protest...
>"We had just spent the entire afternoon out there on the streets with you.
>We brought supplies for people and I used my white face to block intersections off from the cops.
>We were close to the fires helping make sure everyone around stayed safe.
>When we were leaving, we turned our car off at an intersection and patiently waited however long it might take to get a clear path through, even though other cars were revving past dangerously.
>Yet after some folks stopped pedestrians and waved us through, you felt it would be badass to run up to our car yelling, and when I rolled the window down, bash the side of my car in with a bat.\n\nI understand you must be scared as a POC and maybe got the wrong idea from a white guy pulling through.
>I don't give a shit about cars, but you put us in the scariest position of the entire evening, worse than getting smoke and gas shot at us and being surrounded by fire and folks breaking store windows.
>You ruined my day. So for the record, fuck you in particular. You were obviously antsy for some kind of violence, bringing and brandishing weapons, so I hope you got your satisfaction by beating in an ally's driver-side door. Asshole."
As one pointed out in comments: shouldn't leave your car near protests. Fair enough, maybe though "protesters" should behave?
I will not post the username, but if I did for historical reasons: you shouldn't annoy people by directly contacting them or actually harassing. Point is, "censoring" names and/or profile pics does nothing to protect individuals being found - its just to stop equally stupid people from messaging users in question. Albeit still possible, this technique makes it harder to research and backtrack sources.
