A statue of George Washington was torn down recently in San Francisco, ostensibly in response to the George Floyd death. Yet, it seems reasonable to assume this would not have been allowed the very next day after his death, but was allowed weeks later only in response to the extreme outrage sparked by the death. The thinking appears to be, that the more the outrage, the more concessions have to be made—regardless of the appropriateness or lack thereof of the outrage itself. The accused are not entitled to question the aggrieved it appears. The unfolding perspective is that the outrage is ALWAYS genuine and reflective of actual reality. Therefore, the more the outrage persists and increases, the more and more and more concessions MUST be made to appease it. Will this ever end on its own? Or do people of conscience have to take a stand at some point? And is that even advisable in the current situation? What is the divine perspective?

This question is identifying the true dynamics and the key characteristics of the participants in what is taking place. It is not the fact there is outrage and often outrage of great magnitude that becomes compelling by virtue of the noise and the intensity of feelings, as evidenced by a mass demonstration, for example. It does have a psychological impact by encouraging people of like mind that the cause is just because so many others feel the same way. There is an element of influence that causes people to tag along with a mob that passes through if they have sympathy for the grievances being acted out, but really what is happening here is the outrage is being orchestrated to happen. This level of outrage can only occur in the first place when there is direct personally experienced wrongdoing and not by a spark that somehow sets the nation on fire resulting in mass demonstrations and many acts of reprisal against wholly innocent parties, but who suffer nonetheless from the anger on display from rioting, looting, and violent attacks in some cases. A so-called "person of conscience" looking at this dispassionately will be horrified at the magnitude of emotion being generated improbably within individuals having no direct link to any wrongdoing that has taken place and is the presumed rationale for a mass demonstration and a heightened emotional participation by people in other communities far removed from the incident that is seemingly the catalyst. This is a tip-off that an event has been orchestrated to happen with people being primed within through subliminal programming to rise up in anger and take to the streets in protest. No one approves of police misconduct, even the police themselves. The devil, as usual, is in the details—what one believes truly happened and who is assigned blame, and then what steps need to be taken to promote stability and see that the wrongdoing does not happen again. This is what the legal system is for; when it is circumvented by the actions of angry mobs there will be adverse consequences of all kinds that magnify the original problem rather than solve it. This is the legacy of the interlopers who first create a problem, then compound it, and create a tradition of a whole generation of people who carry within them a kind of grudge against perceived wrongdoing that happened in the past and may well pass it on to the next generation who will pick up the banner and find ways to seek an emotional outlet for their own angry feelings. This is all orchestrated to happen because it is human nature to have concern for others and to seek fairness when there is an injustice. Humans are capable of violence when pushed to extremes of suffering, and this is all predictable and subject to being manipulated to happen and recruit large numbers of individuals to make them feel they are targeted in some way and need to seek redress. This is all a kind of vigilante activity done through an exaggerated identification with perceived wrongdoing and by people who are manipulated like marionettes to even act out of character at times and go against their own better judgment, and then are left holding the bag. When it causes great harm and they themselves are judged harshly, it will come as a surprise because they are acting from strong feelings within that seem fully justified because they are manipulated to feel that way and become victims themselves.
