Black Lives Matter protesters march on Mall of America and airport
What on earth do these venues have to do with their grievance. All these people do is stir up shit. How can you emphathize with their cause when they do shit like this?
Yep. That's a real brilliant move. Pissing off people trying to travel. That's really going to help their cause.
You know novasteve and westwall, usually you two and I are generally at opposite ends of the spectrum, but on this we agree. Pissing off people who are already stressed out by the holiday is no way to advance your cause. Why? Because the people you piss off will never support you because you inconvenienced them.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I do think that they have a cause, and I do think that police officers in general are more biased against blacks than they are whites.
But, with that being said, why not have a demonstration in a public park with people giving speeches and not getting in the way of those who are trying to live their daily lives? I mean, when there were demonstrations for the Jenna 6, they moved in to town, said their piece, and were peaceful and didn't tear up the town. Matter of fact, they even cleaned up after themselves and left the town better than when they came.
THAT is how you do a demonstration, not by pissing of Christmas shoppers and travelers.
