Riots and Protests Starting...

[ATM]

Unpopular views are, by their very definition,ummmm.. _unpopular_. Expecting them to have instant respect isn't a good bet. But if it's what you truly believe - stick with it. People will eventually listen. Today's crazy crackpot is tomorrow's visonary....

I like that. I think I'll live by that.

Sometimes. Sometimes they're just tomorrow's crackpot just with greyer hair.

I like that, too. I think I'll die by that.

What did Gary Johnson ever do to you man?

Hmmm....well...he did provide me hours of entertainment during the last 2 elections. That's something.

BLM Protesters Get Jail For Blocking Highway | The Daily Caller

Pleading guilty doesn't say much about standing up for their beliefs.

Five days in jail is way too light. I'd give them a minimum of a year so they could really have time to think about it.

?. Didn't they plead to blocking traffic?

"One young woman was allowed to defer her jail time so she could finish her final exams". Oh Hell No! Perhaps she hasn't had any physics classes yet but this would have been a great opportunity to learn that all actions have consequences!

Well, if she has a STEM major I'd probably let her take her finals. But likely her degree ends with "Studies".

Yes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the number of people who are participating in the ongoing stupidity who are also 1) enrolled on a STEM major, and 2) have the capability to complete the degree is . . . a very small number.

They will re apply in trump's administration

...And the Sioux will be right back out there, as will a bunch of other people that support them.

Meh...there'll be a new faux-outrage to be protesting by then.

Do you not think their concerns are legitimate, or are you just speaking generally about some other protest, of iffy validity, that will come along and overshadow their honest concerns?

Seems to depend "which side" from which you get your news.

 

[bwframe]

It'll be very interesting to see how all this goes when the community organizer is out of office.

 

[churchmouse]

I have obviously not looked into the validity of the tribes concerns about the pipe line.
Just to many other things to keep track of.

Is it possible that a pipeline could leak into the lake? Sure.
Is it possible the chunnel can crack and kill thousands? Sure.
Is it possible every tunnel in NYC onto manhattan and elsewhere can collapse? Sure.

Time to revoke all the special interest laws for Indian tribes. Heck, one of the worst things we allow is to continue reservations. Get rid of the reservations and special laws and just give families the land. Done. Welcome to America.
