The Protest Thread

[BurtReynolds]

"Hey guys, let's make government indoctrination mandatory for everyone's kids regardless of what the parent wants. Also the government is fundamentally racist and they should leave us alone."

[Mickey]

...who are you responding to here?

[BurtReynolds]

Not you

[Mickey]

Cool man, have fun with whatever kind of acute mania you're developing.

Oh wow look what we have here, shocked I am!

Can't really invoke self-defense/stand your ground if you provoked the encounter.

i'm not defending him but it looks like he flipped out bc she was consciously moving in front of him with her arms up blocking him and 'boxing him out'.

his attorney may argue she initiated the altercation

i think he's a piece of shit regardless, he probably went there looking for a fight, so it was probably just a matter of time anyway

The protestors keep blocking morning traffic in Louisville. My friend's wife has been having a hard time getting to work at the FUCKING CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. I guess police are towing some of the cars blocking the streets today. But hey, a few more days of this childish bullshit and 100 years of systemic racism will surely end. Like magic. So...worth it?

There's been more progress in the last month to reform policing than we've had in forever, so yes.

[Mickey]

Plus I don't give a fuck about kids.

Is blocking morning traffic with cars in a downtown metro area really the type of social progress you guys want to pin a ribbon on? It's fucking stupid.

[digster]

Yeah, why can't mass protests find a place where they're completely out of the way and no one will notice or care?

[verb_to_trust]

There a big difference between that and what is going on but fine. Subscribe to this douchey insanity.

[Mickey]

Just to be clear I also don't give a fuck about getting to work on time.

[verb_to_trust]

You've never had a real job

I would argue that it's actually much more important to be on time for any teaching job than it is for the majority of white collar bullshit that happens in downtown Chicago, but you can also leave your house earlier if it's that important to you.

And you can stay in your bubble with the rest of the academics who plan to barf out e learning for the next five years and shout about what they think real life is like.

I actually was thinking of k-12 teaching, but show me on the doll where academia hurt you.

Give him a break, he's probably low on chips and hangry.

Hey did you guys here about the Mayor of Olympia, Washington? After vocally supporting the protesters and BLM, they vandalized her house. Then, once it was her property that had been targeted, she called it an act of domestic terrorism.
These leftists hypocrites are hilarious.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Is that true? Her quotes in this article after the vandalism seem to say she still supports them. Maybe I'm missing something though, I want to have all the facts here.
