These protesters have zero empathy or concern for the passengers or the drivers caught up in their “Cool Happenings”. Last night, a woman on a Berkeley highway went into labor while those ‘protesters’ were blocking traffic. Somehow, the ambulance got to her.
Time will tell if she had a delivery made more difficult because of the stress of being stuck in traffic. On the whole, they just don’t give a damn. One marcher tried to stop a group from smashing more store windows and what did they do? They bopped him in the head WITH A HAMMER!
I'm so sick of hearing the phrase "mostly peaceful" as an absolute prerequisite, before getting into the gritty trifles, like the fact that "mostly peaceful" protesters brought HAMMERS with them.
And are freaking burning down buildings and blocking highways.
Imagine for a second some conservative group protesting ANYTHING.
Now imagine a bonafide member even possessing a hammer.
THAT would be the lede.
VIOLENT rightwing activists descended upon peaceful town wielding hammers.
No injuries were reported, and no property damage noted. YET.
But we have our crack channel 7 investigators on the scene who will be there all night.
