25. About the lack of respect for anyone else...
I would be willing to bet that many of these protestors are very damaged people. They are likely to be people who have been victims of abuse of some sort: either physical or sexual.

Their lack of respect for boundaries is blatant. I've seen this time and again in those who have been victims of sexual abuse, including one of my own daughters. In some people, when those boundaries of personal space are broken, they are never rebuilt and those people can't tell where their space ends and where other's space begins.

This whole thing is tragic and the feeding frenzy of the press is absolutely disgusting, but nothing new.
