American people need to start demanding that these people are held accountable. This will stop when they are fined, or imprisoned or both.

5 Dead cops in Dallas

Black Lives Matter didn't do that. Some years ago, four cops in Oakland were shot dead by a black guy with an AK 47. Was that a BLM terrorist act?

Look, you have no defense for your silly assertion.

Not to mention it jacks up the price of the goods for all people rich and poor. Guess what - the rich people won't feel the sting as badly as the poor people. So to all those people who can barely put food on their plates now, just remember BLM are the ones jacking up the costs.

A late shipment doesn't "jack up the prices" on anything.

BLM didn't exist four years ago, so what do you think?

They're using the threat of violence for political reasons. That the definition of a terrorist.

Terrorism isn't threats, it's the USE of violence for political ends. Like "Shock and awe"

Almost 30 years a structural Ironworker, 15 as a connector, 10 or so a raising gang foreman. I know how to co-ordinate downtown construction and if a truck being late shuts down your job you screwed up.

If you were doing your job right on a concrete job, you had an inspector scheduled to be on site as soon after the steel had been set and tied as possible, so you can get mud on the ground as soon as possible. You know that it takes X hours to tie off Y feet of rebar and you schedule the inspection accordingly, since you also have to schedule concrete. Miss an inspection and you have to cancel the mud (which some companies charge you for) and NO ONE cares that you missed the inspection because of a bunch of dumbasses shutting down the freeway. The inspector looks at you and tells you that he has another inspection to be at, the concrete company tells you that they had already scheduled deliveries of sand, rack and cement based on your order and they all tell you "Sorry, but that's the way it is."

You mean like when BLM terrorists attack and kill cops?

Lone wolves are everywhere, even occasional black ones.

How are the trucks held hostage, do they tie their wheels behind their backs?

There sure are a lot of lone wolves being motivated to give BLM the, "dead pigs", they're asking for.

We sure didn't this lone wolf bull**** when Dylan Roof shot up that church house.

He was a gang member with an assault weapon, not a terrorist. That's what I think.

Sure, and the rich have only stolen $600 billion dollars of income from them, so obviously the only thing worth focusing on is your completely unjustified hysteria about food price hikes that never occurred.

I missed the part with the blaming, the successful, and the failings. Wrong thread ?

Your inability to understand how planning ahead works is irrelevant.

Sure I can and I have.

More BLM terrorists were caught in Baton Rouge recently, planning an attack.

ALL traffic was delayed: that was the point. Trucks just make great climbing trees for the stupid.

NOTHING or nobody - is being held "hostage".

Are you comparing the BLM terrorists to monkies?

I'll take your word for it. I did 3 months (the bare minimum) of rebar as an apprentice. Not my line of work- same union, different trade.
