GodIsImaginary 06/03/20 12:16:12 PM #1:	The protesters are overwhelmingly young people. It's understandable....they've been cooped up for months, they've had their school years ruined and many are unemployed. Getting out of the house, and getting to walk and be around people, and release that pent up energy, is a reward in itself. My hope is we don't see a non stop "protest everything" series of rolling protests throughout the year, but with nothing else to do, we may. <cite>GodIsImaginary posted [p:940122183] in Real talk:...

MFBKBass5 06/03/20 12:19:52 PM #4:	I actually agree with TC. Its a lot of young people, yes. But it doesnt make their opinions and frustrations any less valid. Young people are actually standing up for whats right. The older generation is silent right now. Dont hear many 40+ year olds speaking out against racism, because the large majority of the racists in this country ARE the older generation. Its clear as day. They grew up in a different time where it was acceptable, and they dont want change. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA <cite>MFBKBass5 posted [p:940122370] in Real talk:...

If they just wanted to get out, they could just go to the beach. --- Steve Rhoades >>> Jefferson D'Arcy Fight Me. <cite>LeperMessiahXX posted [p:940122440] in Real talk:...

If they just wanted to get out, they could just go to the beach. This is more of an event though, like a music festival, with crowd energy. Plus you can get a photo of yourself in front of a burning car to add to your profile. Are they really getting gassed to the extent they need medical treatment? I haven't heard of the emergency rooms being flooded with protesters. Here in LA at least, everyone who is arrested for unlawful assembly is released a few hours later. <cite>GodIsImaginary posted [p:940122552] in Real talk:...
