This is a screenshot from a video which uploaded by a well-known blogger who lives in downtown, Los Angeles. He was interviewing an innocent woman on the street about the current protests and activities in LA. The woman said she's scared and worried abut her child. I think I feel her. My mother's worrying about me everyday even though I live pretty far away from the violence. And I feel scared as well. I can hear the helicopter flying above the cities everyday but I still don't want to go out of my apartment.
