"It's a free country" - yes it is sir, yes it is
I’ve seen this now on other videos. They are definitely getting organized with people playing particular roles. I’ve seen people alerting, and calling for the “blockers” to stop filming with umbrellas and intimidation.

There is now an organization chart for demonstrations:

The reporter should grab that punk's skateboard and run it through the nearest wood chipper.

I agree. It reminds me of a cult or religious sect reciting a creed. Their 'saints and martyrs' are George Floyd, Jacob Blake... They have shrines and candles...and even proselytizing. It's all very cultic---very different from civil rights movements of the past.

The religious/cultic nature of this is a big story, except no one is really covering it, except in some conservative circles.

My theory is people are doing this on such a large level because it fills the vacuum left by religion, as society has become more secular. And it also fills the vacuum left by Covid restrictions. People aren't allowed to gather in large groups for any other reason .

Once again, we have people taking over roads without permits. This is illegal. Does anyone even care anymore?


They just occupy roads. It's unreal.

And if they are getting permits for this stuff, they need to immediately open up ALL outdoor group activities. Sports, concerts, parades, everything.

When I was a kid, we recited many “creeds”.

The Pledge of Allegiance everyday in school.

The Boy Scout Oath.

The Our Father prayer.

These are the kinds of words that molded us when I was a kid.

This ....exactly. They keep getting away with it and will continue to push the boundaries.

That and a few generations of kids that lacked solid parenting. This is the result when a parent acts like a friend, never tells the kid no, and never teaches the kid there are consequences to their actions.
