Dan Newman from Amherst:

“It doesn’t matter if it’s President Trump or President Biden, this should not happen under any circumstances… As Joe Biden said today, ‘there is no place in this country for anything like that.’ … There is no better time than now to come together. Let’s all come together and support America, don’t support a president, support America.”

Valerie Simmons from Buffalo:

“It’s crazy, our country is becoming more and more extremely violent, and it’s worrying.”

Jaleesa Simmons from Buffalo:

“It would be nice to think that we could get together at that time.”

“My fear is for the country, the direction we are going and the rest of our leadership… It is the progression of absolute terror and madness that is reigning in our country.”

Shohreh from Buffalo

“Since 2016, I have been afraid… I expected it, because the environment that exists would give rise to this kind of violence.”

“We have grandchildren. Where are they going to take the country? How are they going to experience this violence?”
