Another pointless"peaceful protest" aka riot
Lissa4811 I just wanna tell you they have no right to throw things at law-enforcement and blocking a road that shouldn’t be allowed either. I don’t mind if people peacefully protest but this is not peaceful and as far as it being un American, are you kidding me? When did it become American to block roads and to throw things that law-enforcement I think you have a unusual aspect on what being American is?
Well said thanks
couldn’t breathe when there was a virus around, but we gotta mask up to commit crimes against our constitution. the irony is not lost here
Waste of a beautiful day
