I have seen someone rip apart a co-worker for saying Merry Christmas, so no it is not "completely manufactured". It may be a minority that acts in such a way but claiming it doesn't happen is flat out wrong.

Fox News thinks the point of the protests is to attack and dethrone God I guess?

Well it appears the solution to stop this nefarious group would be to end systemic racism to stop their being victim groups.

Is the WUO still a thing? They were an actual domestic terrorist org.

I thought they gave it up 40 years ago? Weird that FOX is rolling with that stuff.



Also...this is a remarkable read.

Wyclef Jean wrote a song about this incident about this as well. It's actually how I learned about it. Devastating.

Guy shows up in black face at a protest in Toronto today. I assume trying to invite violence

I just ran by the Peace Bridge and there was a group of about 20 people - yellow vests I think? Upside down Canadian flags, all lives matter signs. About 10 police nearby. Saddest part - quite a few young children with them.

I guess I have to delete that App off my phone now. Too bad, it was really good at local predictions.

Southern Bl (I-95 exit to Mar-a-Lago) is closed again.

Also Worth Ave on Palm Beach island and most of the area is closed. Some store owners have boarded up:

https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/n...-demonstration

The protest is supposed to start in downtown West Palm and end up on Worth Ave, but there’s no way in hell they’re going to make it over either bridge to do that.

Worth Av is like Rodeo Dr.
