OK, this will be my last words on this topic but I felt that if Adam could speak, I can add my last thoughts on this topic. It's not surprising to me, that after two weeks, people are still unforgiving and still showing displeasure over the current climate, determined that this time will finally bring about change! Someone made the comment that it looked as if the police were enjoying these tactics and I do believe that -- at least for a large % of the police force, that's true. After a lifetime of impotent rage and feeling unimportant and under appreciated, they are finally able to " be powerful". These attitudes are so outdated and archaic and must be changed. We live in such a wonderful country but it must be a wonderful and fair country for everybody! That's my last word!!! 😊😊😊

THANK YOU Q!!!! Things have been getting a bit prickly and blood pressure raising. At the moment it seems like Adam himself is bringing most of the prickly and blood pressure inducing comments. I would think if he is that passionate about the cause he would join the protesters and see what's going on first hand instead of relying on edited video on whichever channel is watching and second hand information. Coming from long line of self employed people his comment about, "welll they have insurance" insinuating it's okay to destroy those business, someone else will pay them. He really doesn't get it. Adam did not insinuate it's ok to destroy businesses, he wrote explicitly that he does not condone it, that the looters are a*holes, and that looting is a crime. Here are his tweets that say that: And there are myriad of videos people took on their cell phones of needless police brutality. If you think all of them are edited, then you probably have already made up your mind and won't let anything change it.

Sorry, but I adore Adam...the way some of the protesters have been attacked by the police, I surely don't want him out there and risk getting hurt. Wouldn't want my kids out there either.

My 19 year old granddaughter,who lives with me,is protesting here in Asheville,NC every day,in fact she was gassed two days ago,but continues to go back day after day.She's pretty upset with our local police,because the protests have been very peaceful for the most part. Our mayor broke down in tears over some of the police force.. She said ,to paraphrase. They are supposed to be here to protect,not hurt people.The police also pulled all water bottles away from folks offering help to the protesters.. We have an 8 oclock curfew ,amazing for a a small mountain town.
Trust me I'm worried about granddaughter getting hurt or jailed and also worried about the cornovirus. To add :I think Adam is courageous . To me,He is a highly empathetic human being,who cares deeply for equality and fairness.

Some don't agree with Adam's stand. Fine. But so tired of the excuse that Adam is supporting the violence and looting. If you don't agree that Black Live Matter or if inequality and racism are of little concern to you then just say that. Stop lying about him to fit your agenda. Cause there are few buyers here. I don't blame Adam for wanting those type of fans to just go away. To be that angry that he is standing up for human rights does not make them smarter or more informed. It just makes them look selfish. Why would a man who has faced so much hate and discrimination himself not speak out? TBH, I'm glad Adam is vocal and passionate but I wish he would stop engaging with those assholes on twitter. They are not worth it and they are dug in with their beliefs. I'm not out there with the protesters but I support them and will speak up even if not there. That is what these people want is for everyone to stay silent. HeWhoCannot amed is depending on that. But good luck with thinking only the right wing will and should be heard. Most of us have never attended a HeWhoCannot amed rally but who really thinks we or Adam don't have opinions about the dangers this man brings to the world? Besides, who gets to decide how someone else contributes? Who knows if Adam has attended a protest? Why does it matter, as he still has a voice? Who gets to tell him how to participate or where to put his money? Who gets to decide that his opinions don't count because they don't align with theirs? Being a fan or going to a concert gives no one a right to try to control him or tell him what to do or think. Or force him to be indifferent because they are. Honestly I don't know how anyone who follows Adam would be suddenly surprised what side he would fall on. I think most of those people on twitter, who are pissed with his stand, are either non-fans or not very smart, if they expected something different from him. He has been telling us and showing us for over 10 years exactly who he is. If you didn't know or pretended otherwise that is on you.
