Protest? Nah, this is an “in your face” to American law and order.

I’m really sick and tired of these leftists protesting anything and everything they can think of and then some, mostly because they simply hate everything the U.S. stands for.

And no matter how disruptive, they usually get away with it and then show up for the next grievance demonstration, while patriots are typically hauled off to court on the rare occasion they (justifiably) organize a protest to an outrageous affront to liberty and humanity.
