Metamorphosis

In a restaurant section in Pittsburgh several tables of people were hectored, chased away and one table that stayed had invading people drink their drinks. Some guy carrying a bicycle was reportedly roughed up. The information has been recorded on phones; there has not been any official report I could find. According to the single news report I could find, the attackers were part of a demonstration against police behavior in Minneapolis.

So people in Pittsburgh are to be hassled in the street because of an event in Minneapolis by the local government And what are they to do? What corrective action are they to take--if they believe that action to be warranted? 

Kafka's enemies were official, passive and bureaucratic, never malignant and his fellows. We may be writing a new page in the giant tome of human hostility.
