I feel like I don't understand what the message being sent here is. Are they mad that the Epstein files got released? Mad about what's in them? Something else?

They are mad about all the violence towards children, the cannibalism the pedophilia the violence proven in the Epstien files. Hence they are burning this effigy to show that they are against all of this and they oppose it.
