The Protest Thread

[E.H. Ruddock]

A couple of days ago there was a book reading event for kids at the local library that was celebrating pride month. This was an event that you had to register for and parents had to be there, and the topic of the event was well advertised. So there was no “grooming” going on. A group of local Proud Boys showed up and wanted to protest. The sheriff’s office escorted them into the library as they yelled and shouted obscenities as the kids were in there. I’ll say that again. the sheriff’s office escorted them through the library

Side note, they all wore masks to hide their faces. lol @masks

burt, i rarely read n&d, so I don't have a sense of your politics. are you an anarchist?

[BurtReynolds]

You could say I'm anti-state, but anarchists are pretty dopey to me.

I'm basically just hoping to delay the birth of global capitalist AI until after I die.

Or at least learn to laugh about it.

The video doesn't really match the article. Unless there's more to it it just looks like a bunch of people swarming a moving truck and predictably getting run over.

Protests calling for justice over the shooting death of Jayland Walker led to slight damage Sunday night. Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan declared a state of emergency on Monday and issued a curfew for the city from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday. Horrigan also canceled the fireworks that were scheduled for July 4.
