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

Something tells me the only protest you would support is one you don’t have to see and can ignore with minimal effort

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.

Two clips from the article...

“ The 8yo was shot as she and her mom tried parking in a liquor store lot, near armed civilians’ barricades around the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed.”

“ When the driver attempted to enter a parking lot on the 1200 block of Pryor Road, police say he was confronted by a group of armed individuals who had blocked the entrance”

I know you like to be obtuse, but it’s quite obvious the article is referring to the protestors that have barricaded off at the Wendy’s there and are armed. So they used the word civilians instead of protestors, but it was obvious they were talking about those that were armed and barricaded off the area in protest.

Wasn’t that hard to figure out reading the article.

Geeblock, no way you can support that protest at the Wendy’s that directly lead to this girls death or the protest in the highways that are getting people ran over.

You are a smart man, you know these aren’t productive.

How about you dont announce that the interstate is closed at midnight.  How about officials come on and tell people to stay off the road.

My simple question was how are the police supposed to stop it. It would piss me off if I was trying to get to work. I just think the cops have zero chance to stop it. Two completely different conversations.  I think this guy did it on purpose so it’s not like they were in the road and he didn’t see them. But again protesting doesn’t work if it doesn’t piss people off. He hates any type of protest and just says “whatabout” some peripheral issue instead of just saying hey I don’t think we have any problems and I don’t agree with the movement.

I missed that story so I’ll have to read it and get back to you. How is it related to the protest? Cliff notes

"Bottoms said the crowd outside the Wendy’s had re-erected barriers that the city had already taken down. The family was trying to get around the barrier when the confrontation happened.

Bottoms announced that after weeks of trying to negotiate with protesters occupying the Wendy’s, the efforts are over and the area will be cleared.

“A the point that an 8-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended,” Bottoms said."

Don't get me wrong, I don't care that they pulled it down. It just proves that there is no purpose to what they are doing besides just being an outrage mob.

Instead of just saying he doesn’t agree with any protests and thinks that racism doesn’t exist or whatever his real opinion is he cherry picks random things every day like a Fredrick Douglass statue that I guarantee he doesn’t care about and wastes our time. Just say whatever it is u have to say is all. Stop deflecting to random fake outrage u accuse the other side of while doing it yours

8 year old “baby” 

Tamar rice 12 year old “adult” 

Life comes at you fast while gas lighting 

8 year old boy shot and killed by gunfire in the food court of a mall just down the street from me. Other innocent bystanders hit but not killed. Gunfight originated by some armed guys there arguing. It was 3:30 pm on a Friday. Guess they got off work early that day to do some holiday day shopping. The same mall had windows smashed only a couple of weeks ago. I think this boy's grandmother and pastor day it best.

So you can read his mind? That is rather interesting, You know he is racist so he obviously doesn’t care about Frederick Douglass...

Makes sense

Your argument on this story has changed about 3 times, hard to keep straight where you are on this one.

Well, you know, one of the links was to the black Atlanta mayor calling it the "murder of a baby".
