They chose the wrong side and are aiding ICE.

(8,833 posts)I have seen postgame celebrations devolve into more chaos than we saw last night in L.A.
And in places beyond L.A. Seems like I recall some couches getting burned after a West Virginia University victory.

(3,666 posts)Ever notice how the "left" protests actual civil rights violations, while the so-called "right" protests things that they make up in their heads, things like a stolen election that was never proven and a war on Christmas that has never taken place?

Peaceful Protest would be much better.
They're literally confirming everything MAGA claims...
Eko
(9,347 posts)That if you pull people off the street with unmarked agents and deport them without due process or ones attending their immigration hearings then people will respond in overwhelming peaceful protests?

(3,381 posts)blocking freeways is easily the stupidest form of protest ever tried.
People who are prevented from seeing loved ones in the hospital (possibly on their death bed), or from making it to a court date, job interview, class, funeral, wedding, or some other obligation, won't think "gee - maybe these people have a point." They'll think, "what a bunch of selfish slackers."
It also means emergency vehicles might not be able to carry out their duties. Do you want a house to burn down from a fire that could have been contained? Do you want someone to die because an ambulance couldn't reach their destination, or make it to a hospital? I don't, either.

(2,085 posts)As someone who has spent literally thousands and thousands of hours on LA freeways in my 75 yrs, this would make me upset. Even tho' I'm 100% in agreement with the protestors, I don't support blocking the freeways. As was mentioned elsewhere, there are too many important/urgent reasons people are on those roads and being blocked doesn't endear the protestors to the drivers...trust me!!

(1,910 posts)Is cab67s argument a false equivalency? This is an academic question.

(3,381 posts)And it's always unwise.
I don't care if it's out of protest or to celebrate the home team's victory.

(1,910 posts)That footage will be the only thing Fox viewers see. These images are all the justification they need to welcome martial law.

(12,508 posts)are doing exactly what Trump wants you to do.....don't you get it???????????????????
AND, watch the ones inciting violence to check and see if they are Covert Trumphumpers, trying to make the demonstrators look bad.......and incite violence by the MAGA COPS against them as justified......It happened during the BLM demonstrations, and was documented......
