In the situation with that lady who FAFO'd, I have the most sympathy for the young child.
I read that the woman was a widow, so that child already was growing up without a dad. Then this lady left her home in Colorado to get involved with something that had nothing to do with her in Minneapolis, and now that kid is an orphan.
You can have all the political opinions you want, but confronting armed federal agents is a young person's game. It's still dangerous and stupid, but at least you aren't digging two graves.
When you're a parent, your life no longer belongs to just you. You have a responsibility to this life you created. Heading out and getting mercked by driving your SUV at federal agents, you didn't just give up your life for something stupid, you just gave away something that was no longer entirely yours to give.
Now that young child has to grow up without either parent.
Honestly, raising your children ought to be the meaning of your life. It has far more actual impact than some stupid protest in another state. It's a full-time job with 2 parents, and more than that if you're a widower with the father. I know that even being married, I wake up in the morning doing my duty as a father, spend the day doing my duty, and might get an hour or two at the end of the day to relax. It's a double marathon, even with a great partner. There's no time to be trying to run down federal agents.
Incidentally, this isn't a hypothetical. I agreed with the trucker protests in Canada, I had time off during them, and guess what? I didn't go. I watched viva frei attend them on YouTube with my son drinking his bottle on my arm, because that's where my place was.
New relationships happen, but data consistently shows that birth parents are wired different.

Megyn kelly said something like that, the reason she should not have been blockading ICE agents was for the sake and safety of her child.

I don't know how parents find time to go out and do this, unless they are self-employed or on welfare. Children, spouse, house, and work are enough for 12-18 hours a day.
