Many San Diegans immediately reacted with shame and concern.
“I think it s really disappointing, unacceptable,” said Cory Scott. “I don t think people should be protesting what was a fair election.”
Many pointing out the real problem is our country’s political polarization.
“It’s a scary time and I think it’s because we’re so divided, and that s the issue,” said Cecilia Lane.
“I see [the division] when I drive through my neighborhood and when I talk to people,” Jared Herd, lead pastor at The Church at Rancho Bernardo, said.
“It was heartbreaking as an American, a follower of Jesus, as a pastor to watch those images,” Herd said.
