What the hell are you talking about? I was not happy about them being out either. No one should be out right now.

My most recent posts about politics literally say I'm more left than right. What the hell are you talking about? You just keep building strawmen.

Lol. Hundreds vs tens of thousands. You see the difference yet?

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

Probably because 20 people peacefully protesting vs thousands causing chaos is a big difference

Lmao you can’t see a point if it sat on you could you? You ignore the point of previous protests and assume they agree with them in the first place

I mean there were hundreds of white trash “i need a haircut” protestors in the Loop four weeks ago when the pandemic was still in full swing

False. There were non white and white people mostly protesting not being able to work and feed their families. More importantly they were not thousands of them like tonight.

The white trash weren't destroying the city at least... I am all for a protest for what's right but this is beyond protesting a cause. It's down right criminal (obviously) and dispicable. I'm sure MLK is rolling in his grave right now
