D.C. Resident Opens Doors to Shelter 60+ Protesters in Home | NowThis

In US news and current events today, a Washington D.C. resident named Rahul Dubey was hailed as a hero after sheltering over 60 protesters in his home overnight, in order to prevent their arrest and potential assault by the police.

The Black Lives Matter protests that have sprung up in the wake of the killing of George Floyd have been met with a new onslaught of police brutality and police violence, but some kind citizens are stepping up to protect their fellow Americans from violence at the hands of the police. After braving tear gas and rubber bullets during the George Floyd protests and BLM protests, the peaceful protesters were offered shelter in the home of Rahul Dubew, who even managed to have pizzas delivered during the Washington D.C. curfew. When the curfew lifted and the protesters were able to step outside, Dubey was met with cheers for sheltering the protesters in place and offering them sanctuary.

60+ WHAT! Is everyone forgetting about the virus?

It's a very sweet gesture and a generous show of support. I can't help thinking, though, that's a lot of unmasked people from all over the place to be hosting indoors during a pandemic.

Showing America that it's about finally starting to treat people like real people.

I like how some people can't find anything bad about this so they just make fun of it or outright listen to media spin this into riots and home invasion.
