A protest > sum of all protests on the day is a change. Even in the largest of cities these were in the tens of thousands - not millions.

You clearly don't get the point of protests. They are supposed to be disruptive, to attract attention and make as strong an impression as possible upon the object of the demonstration, and not sanitised, hidden away somewhere else. Otherwise what is the point?Yes, that is what I said. To keep protesters and the public safe, and minimize disruption to people trying to live their lives and conduct business.
Blocking active streets is pointless and self defeating to the protestors - as well as being unsafe, and disruptive.
Yeah back it up with links dude. Even the conservative numbers are over 6 million.A protest > sum of all protests on the day is a change. Even in the largest of cities these were in the tens of thousands - not millions.
Estimates in the range of 5 million, which isn't even close to 11. And that's probably estimating high.Yeah back it up with links dude. Even the conservative numbers are over 6 million.
Here is pointless and self defeating FAFO'Parks and closed streets', you said. Pointless and self-defeating.
Look at you celebrate a failure of decency.Here is pointless and self defeating FAFO
Failure of any sense whatsoever. My posts are a public service to those who would obstruct roadways. Expect to be run overred and you won't be surprised when it happens.Look at you celebrate a failure of decency.
Still doing it. Still justifying murder for jaywalking.Failure of any sense whatsoever. My posts are a public service to those who would obstruct roadways. Expect to be run overred and you won't be surprised when it happens.
What happened to your 1 million lmao. How many went to Trump’s parade? Sour grapes dudeEstimates in the range of 5 million, which isn't even close to 11. And that's probably estimating high.
That was your claim, and it was clearly shifting goalposts.What happened to your 1 million lmao. [deflection removed]
They do not. They have the right to march where permitted to. It doesn't involve anywhere they want to block off.
Anyone seen video of the mall today? Burning wreckage of police cars, graffiti, trash ? No doubt millions watched on TV. Whole day devoted to 250 birthday celebration on several networks and streams. Quite a contrast from the feckless protests around the country.What happened to your 1 million lmao. How many went to Trump’s parade? Sour grapes dude
Nah.Which include the streets. So sorry that you hate the First Amendment.
The organizers of the local event, here, did a bang-up job of establishing the ground rules. Stay out of the road. Ignore the maga hatters. No chanting at the police.
What changed with the above?Seems like in the face of official and other incitements to vehicular violence, organization going forward has to include how to minimize the opportunities for maga street thugs.
Nothing changed for me. Some folks just can't stop themselves from defending vehicular mayhem and battery.All good advice.

Just to be clear: minimizing damage, to person or property should always be the goal of a protest.Nothing changed for me. Some folks just can't stop themselves from defending vehicular mayhem and battery.
Sigh.roflol. That's not even a real group.
Sorry, none of the protests had 11 million people. That's not realistic.
I live in the DC metro area. I don't know anyone who went to the parade or watched it on TV. Which networks showed it all day?Anyone seen video of the mall today? Burning wreckage of police cars, graffiti, trash ? No doubt millions watched on TV. Whole day devoted to 250 birthday celebration on several networks and streams.

First off, I am again saying that under some circumstances, drivers aren't given a choice. Protestors have been known to damage cars and threaten drivers and people in cars.
How far away and how long ago do not change the circumstances. If anything, they are more likely now than they were 30 years ago. I understand protestors moving to encircle your car can be dangerous for both sides. If that is not the case here, the driver needs to be prosecuted.
Where exactly was that burning wreckage of police cars, graffiti and trash? I want a video. Other than a few MAGA agitators, those protests were pretty calm and respectful.Anyone seen video of the mall today? Burning wreckage of police cars, graffiti, trash ?

Nope, and I don't exonerate or excuse him. It all depends on the circumstances. Which is why I am outlining the other set of circumstances.Yes they do. You're stating this as if the man somehow felt he was in imminent, immediate danger (as if this were currently happening right, left and center)...hence he was forced to drive forward *into* the crowd (that he wasn't in the middle of until he drove there electivelyl), accellerating quickly.
That's a self-defense move?

That's how protests work, not by writing polite letters to whoever. The whole point of protests is to make a point, and if Kevin is slightly inconvenienced and a bit late for dinner, so what?
