1. Given that black lives are disproportionately effected by covid (well documented) it seems like it’s more their risk to take than yours to criticize. But whatever the risk created by protesters, the teargas and “crowd dispersal” methods used by police forces will be responsible for way more spread than a bunch of people marching wearing masks.

3. If the majority of github’s employees shared your skewed view of the blm protests, they might apply pressure on their employer, yes.
