Hugs aren’t political. If hugs were political, then politics would be a lot nicer. Bombs are more political, which given the reception hugs got, may have been more appropriate.

Yes, it is a cool thing, which this country needs, but being realistic about it, is it possible that everyone here could start hugging? Is it desirable that everyone here should start hugging? I’m not so sure that the answers are as obvious as everyone is making out. Why is it necessary that complete strangers should be hugging in public? Is it something that would be desirable if it became normal?

There are a lot of issues here, but not really any big news story. An arrest that possibly wasn’t, of some folks who shouldn’t have been surprised at it, and the exciting discovery that it takes a bit longer to change habits than just one day.
