I wonder if Columbus will eventually just change their name. I never understood why it was named Columbus anyways. The dude never set foot on the continent, landed in the wrong area, thought he was in Asia, and wasn't even the first guy here...the Vikings were. 

I would just call it as simple as Capital City (still a C) or even go old school and just call the entire city Franklinton. 

Flavortown or bust!

I keep waiting for Trump to defend Columbus by telling American Indians "you lost, get over it".

As long as it's delicious!

We've been through stay at home orders with everyone itching to get outside.

But outdoors spaces and our national parks are not free from the systemic racism and inequity that exist in other parts of our society. 77% of national park visitors are white.https://t.co/ppiqcMJeBE

Considering the US is 72% white, 77% attendance of white people is not out of the normal.

Woman got run over by a car “protesting” on a highway in Seattle at 1:30am. Pretty dumb way to die. Maybe those in charge should stop these dummies.

I mean, maybe don’t let people on the highway? Are there no laws anymore in 2020?

What would be your plan to keep them off the highway?

Umm anything? Billy clubs, pepper spray, cops w shields? There are either laws or there aren’t. But you can’t pick and choose based on who it is.

And fuck these protests. They don’t give a shit about George Floyd. An 8 year old got killed in Atlanta from these idiots but you barely hear a peep. And someone just pulled down a Frederick Douglas statue in Rochester. Morons

Did you read the article? It was armed protestors by the Wendy’s that Brooks got killed at. So yes.

Lol, I did read the article. It doesn’t say anywhere that it was “armed protestors” it just says that the shooting happened near that same Wendy’s.

Protesting on a highway is by far the dumbest form of protest I can even think of. Who thinks putting their own life in danger is a good idea, ESPECIALLY late at night when visibility is low.

I am not saying anyone deserved to die, but she is definitely a Darwin Award candidate.
