That is tragic.

Your shopping experience was inconvenienced. Boo Hoo.

Not mine. thugs ought to be treated like thugs. Period. Water canons, hoses, whatever it takes.

if you don't want to be shot by a water canon, stop being a thug. Stop acting like it is 1968 and then you wont be treated with a water canon.

You have any information on this? And I'm not talking about those strange conspiracy websites either.

I would just like to point out that it is nice to see someone, maf763, to clarify his post and apologize for any miscommunication. That is a display of real humanity.

There is just to much ganging up and bullying here sometimes from certain posters.
The agenda they have seems to belittle, and not really listen to what the OP's thread is about, and/or other poster's points. Just go on being rude for the sake of it

People exercising their constitutional right to assemble are thugs?

...or are you just dehumanizing black people to justify your racist thoughts?

Violence against peaceful protesters exercising their constitutional rights? Got it.

The Bill of Rights is not conditional.

I live in King of Prussia - biggest mall on the East Coast... same thing happened here on Saturday. I wish people would just pepper spray and teach them a lesson. I don't agree with what they're doing at all. Maybe they should get an education, get a job and contribute to society. Why should we stand up for thugs who break laws? I could see if Michael Brown was innocent or Eric Garner, but they weren't... they were breaking laws. See a pattern? If you break laws, you are going to have issues with law enforcement. Full stop. Break laws, police officers will get involved. I have no idea why people feel bad for these people and I have no idea why universities encourage this as well. Maybe if kids had guidance, this wouldn't be an issue.

let's face it, anybody I don't agree with on anything needs to get prepper sprayed and water canyoned

anybody touches my stuff...

sincerely yours,

So if I had a medical emergency and the ambulance or firetruck can't get to my house fast enough to keep me from dying or my house from burning down because the streets and freeways are blocked by protesters, whose rights are being interfered with?

Is this the same right-wing that says medical care isn't a right?

(I doubt the protestors will block an ambulance)

Demonstrating on private commercial property and in the way of shoppers is not gonna win you sympathy. All it does is reinforce stereotypes and bigotry.
