Not saying you are one.
WTH are you talking about?

How would you like to be on your way to the ER with a family member and you're stuck in traffic due to morons on the freeway?

I don't care what color they are, stay off the freeways or risk injury or death.

Who are these "others" that are stealing from hard working Americans like me so I can protect myself from them?

Well not if they want to make it their last protest it isn't.

It depends on what they are protesting, maybe I might care, maybe not.

But when one of those idiots gets creamed by a 2-ton Diesel, I'm not going to cry about it.

And they are idiots for standing in traffic. I don't care what color they are. They are all idiots.

The point of this thread is to question the delivery vehicle of the message. By gathering in protest and creating inconveniences for fellow neighbors in an already intensely blue county, don't you think they're letting their point fall flat? Does that not then make you question their true motive for rallying and protesting in the first place?

To answer the question among the daily complaining dogmatic cuckservatives here;

to let their voices be heard, I'd imagine.

The same can be said about most of their old high school or college friends. I am very proud of them.
Guess they got lucky and had a good path and their hard work payed off. But you do see the wage gap and how hard it is to live anywhere these days especially here in L.A.
It's not like before when people moved in and were able to afford a descent apartment. A few of my friends are struggling to have an apartment and be somewhat stable.


Also, I don't like this "us vs them" mentality that has been placed between the old and the young.

3) We have a bunch of responses insulting the mayor of a city for not denying American citizens their constitutionally guaranteed rights. Fantastic.
