I’ve been watching the dumbest movement on local TV tonight. Black Lives Matter protesters are protesting a non-existent issue locally; AND not only that, they’re creating chaos where there was peace!
They cry out their First Amendment rights, but they have NO permits for gathering. They’re blocking the rights of motorists to travel by blocking the streets; some have even charged at the vehicles. They are undoing the good that the movement started and putting innocent lives in jeopardy.
Channel 13 was smart in not pre-empting regular programming for this self-serving stupidity. If I were the head of the movement, I would disavow this group. I don’t know what they want to have done by chanting, “No justice, no sleep”?
I am so disgusted by this. Classic case of something good going totally awry!
