I applaud people standing up for their beliefs. I do NOT agree with protests that affect traffic or other actions that selfishly impact other people's lives. 🤬🤬

@MsCinnamon729 - Mostly these protesters are an annoyance and normal people wish they would get jobs or boyfriends/girlfriends. Although looking at some of them, this may be difficult.
