The City on Fire

That is what I am suggesting. I do like free markets. I am making a point about media bias.

And my counterpoint is, "Media," can be as biased as it wants to be. Why couldn't it?

You "get seen" by peaceful making your point. And you cannot say "people are mildly inconvenienced." It is wrong to block roads, period. I would support a law protecting motorists from running these people down. It is not a joke.

It is a joke, come on! Oh man, Mr. Alan Graham was an hour late to his Downtown office job because PETA was blocking the freeway. Who cares? The biggest problem in this country is this whole, "The stakes have never been higher," mentality that pervades every minute of our miserable lives. It also becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as recent events are teaching us.

Who cares? He does. His employer does. Their clients do.

It is no joke. It is borderline terrorism. It is using force to keep people restrained.

Here is how to handle it:

It is a joke. It's funny. I see, I go, "Haha." And then maybe they let a few of the well-spoken protestors speak in front of State Legislature, or something. People wouldn't even do little stuff like that if they felt like they were being listened to in the first place.

Missed this. Listen, if Trump is your President that you love so much, and the FBI is not monitoring BLM for organized activity....

Let me guess, Obama's fault?

BLM came up during the Obama years. Not saying, just saying.

You do not deserve to be listened to when you are engaging in illegal and violent actions.

If Trump has been the President for more than three years and the FBI is not monitoring BLM for organized activity....

Let me guess, still Obama's fault?

Didn't work so well for the Boston Tea Party, maybe the King should have listened. And, violent? Really? What if they blocked all but one lane and moved out of the way of another lane each way for emergency vehicles and private vehicle flashers?

I think that Trump could be the President for seven years and 364 days, and if on that 364th day anything happens and people dare to suggest that Trump might have done something better, the answer will be, "Well, if it hadn't been for Obama..."

How about NO WAY.

No blocking roads---EVER!
