A small group of demonstrators protesting police brutality, poverty and inequality marched on the Mummers Parade this New Year's Day. The demonstration ended with two people being arrested.
The group of about 50 marched toward the Broad Street parade route around 1 p.m. Friday and at one point tried to pushed past police to get into the street, but were held back. The demonstrators instead kept to the crowded sidewalks and walked down blocked side streets around Center City.
"I think this movement here has changed the conversation a lot," said Lucy Duncan as she held a large sign carrying a quote from writer Ta-Nehisi Coates above her head. "I think that the whole system needs to be changed in order for justice [to come] for all the black folks that are getting killed."
Peaceful and loud at times, protesters held signs reading 'Fund Our Schools', black, transgender, convict, homeless, and refugee lives matter and 'Justice for Tamir Rice' -- the 12-year-old black boy from Cleveland, Ohio who was shot by police as he held an air pistol.

Liberals are a deranged lot.
Ping!
And Happy New Year!
Seems like to them just about every life matters............except for White lives.
These folks aren’t equal. Definitely inferior. Go have your own parade. Don’t rain on the one supported by the productive members of your community.
I agree with them about Tamir Rice. That was tragic, sad.
Btw, notice the BLM movement has turned increasingly paleface.
As for the Mummers, they’re used to protests.
In case anyone here is wondering what “Mummers” are:

Every New Year’s Day... It’s a longstanding South Philly tradition.
“I think this movement here has changed the conversation a lot,”
I wonder how easy it is for them to have a conversation after shooting at each other without hearing protection so much.
WHAT ‘equality’? I’m white, staight, Christian, heterosexual, stay-at-home-mom. It’s ALL ABOUT THE TAX BASE AND SERVING LAWYERS.

I need to invent a solution to route tear gas mixed with pepper spray through a residential lawn sprinkler system.
Another decade of this protest stuff and I’ll be a flippin’ multi-millionaire with my invention. Buy it at getoffmylawn.com.
ROTFL! I'll be your first customer. Don't forget to duct tape plastic sheeting over all your doors and windows though. ;)

That's not a plea for equality - it's communist propaganda...

You summed it up precisely as I would have. How many ways, in English, can one describe "malarkey," i.e., "meaningless talk," or "nonsense," without using rough language. Is it even possible to respond to such babble?
But, that's probably their whole point.
Protesting Shriners and 'poverty?' Really?
If it weren't for whites identifying as black there wouldn't be a #BLM.
Those home owners those freaks off their lawn. Of course, they probably didn't want their windows smashed.
