He's right though isn't he?

I wonder if he was arrested later on?

Why's he wearing a baseball cap when it's cloudy and he isn't playing a team sport.

Take it off ! This isn't a sports field.

Righteous anger is acceptable

Righteous anger is a feeling of indignation, justified and morally appropriate, usually directed at injustice, wrongdoing, or harm. It's different from personal anger, which is often triggered by insults or grievances. Righteous anger is often seen as a force for good, motivating action to correct harmful situations.
