It has gotten out of hand.
I think I’da ordered Chicken and Waffles for breakfast.
No Justice, No Quiche!
I wonder when they will show up at my local feed store, but then again the nearest Popeye’s is miles away so they may not like the commute.

UCSC cuts student activist's suspension
Santa Cruz Sentinel 6/7/07
By Roger Sideman
Alette Kendrick, the UC Santa Cruz student who faced the harshest penalty for her actions during a protest of the UC Board of Regents, struck a deal Friday with campus officials, who reduced her suspension from three years to two academic quarters in exchange for a written apology and 100 hours of community service.
On Oct. 18, demonstrators blocked the three exits of a campus lecture hall, preventing the regents from leaving. The protesters were met by police who used pepper spray and batons to clear the way. Kendrick, 21, was arrested by campus police on three felony counts of battering a police officer. But the charges were reduced and last month Kendrick pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and disturbing a lawful public assembly. She issued a public apology before the court.

Organizers of Saturday's Millions March in Oakland made sure white protesters didn't take over the event.
"I'm of the belief that there is most definitely a place for property destruction — for raging and all that," said Wild Tigers, another Black Brunch organizer, graduate student, and longtime activist, "but the reality is that, as black people, it's very different for us to be out there on the streets smashing windows at Starbucks. Because, if I do that, I could get a bullet. For white people out there, doing that is a privilege."
Mr. Mercat and I go to brunch early, timing it before the Protestants get out of church but given the venues in this story I’m guessing most of the customers don’t go to any church.
For black racists, its about getting their racism acknowledged by the mainstream.
We should just turn our backs to them like the New York cops turned their backs to de Blasio.
We don’t need to give racist ilk our respectful attention.
They become compliant/complicit hostages when they stay and pay.
They aren’t doing it at my local diner.
Their bravery extends to the boundaries of tolerance and no further.
Lame on parade gets 15 minutes.
As long as they target liberals, fine by me.
The diners look pissed, if you ask me.
These people would never try this nonsense outside of a liberal enclave like Oakland or Manhattan. These aren’t protests, they are “exotic” entertainment for rich liberal idiots.
I suggest setting up a tip jar.
The people sitting there don’t get up and get in the punks faces??
Why?
Time to arm the wait staff with electric cattle prods, and give the patrons sharp knives.
The irony is they cannot do this in their own neighborhoods or during evening meals because the gang bangers will shoot them.
Eating Brunch in Democrat Held Territory can be Hell .LOL
Racists.
