Generally I agree with the sentiment, don’t willingly endanger yourself or others. I keep going back to the thought though: how long have the protests been going on? And what has changed? Property is replaceable, people aren’t. Change is a challenge.

Also, if you don’t want cars in your protest, you work with the city to get the roads where you’re protesting closed. Lots of groups do this when organizing marches or protests.

The remaining 36 were unclear, especially when drivers fear for their lives due more to racism than any real risk to their safety. Even when the case seems pretty clear cut, charges might not be forth coming, like this ramming attack in New York which resulted in a protester being dragged for a block, but no charges…

I often find the protests that are most effective are the ones that are easily ignored because they do not inconvenience anyone.

Because that’s how civil resistance works. Totally. “Be as convenient and mindful as possible to those completely apathetic towards your struggles”

I support BLM. Stay out of the fucking street. Please.

Ugh. Guess what happens when you protest in the street? Hmmm. I wonder?  

People who dont stand in the middle of the road get hit 0% of the time. True story.

Tragic but not surprising considering the circumstances this was discovered (the alternative was she abandoned her child in the middle of lake or was kidnapped).

Seattle’s CHAZ experiment should show you that cops are needed. In places where the cops have resorted to slow-downs and sick-outs, like in NYC, Atlanta and earlier in Baltimore- you can see murders go up dramatically.

I mean it’s clear to anyone with an ounce of gray matter that the police is essential to any society, and police will need cars to do their jobs. There should be no controversy at this.

Here’s a free pro tip: everything is political. So are your calls for no discussion of politics.

Please stop

Rule #1: Never post a video when an article will suffice. Most people don’t have the time (or an appropriate setting) to watch a video, but all of us have 60 seconds to read a condensed list of tips.

The end result is interesting. Not sure dropping a car into water is a great idea......

I have seen this same “noose” on several garage door pulls over the last twenty years or so. Does that mean every single one of those garage owners was racist or is it possible some of them just like death iconography? I can guarantee you my ex-GF, who was very Goth, was not a bit racist. She also had skulls…

It appears to be a Bimini Twist Knot (a common fishing loop knot) to me to simply to make it easier to pull down the garage door.  

No commenting and a different set of writers.  It should be called “deadspinfugazi”
