    Looks like another day of extremist leftists illegally "protesting". Blocking highways, throwing rocks...staying classy. Do people actually think that type of behavior helps anything?

    It's a huge mistake by anyone associated with the dems. I'm not sure it moves a neutral or leans left to Trump, but it continues to cede the high ground.

    This. It is absolutely the reason I have no respect for the #blacklivesmatter fools, and now seeing "progressives" suppressing speech has completely turned me off. Regardless of their message, I can no longer respect them. We're keep hearing about Trump leading us to fascism, but the liberal statists and progressives aren't far behind these days. They just come at control from a different angle.

    I would hope and expect Obama to criticize this behavior in the coming days, if this continues.

    Yes, I can't help but wonder how many people in that line of cars are thinking "these assholes just made me choose to vote for Trump". Talk about counterproductive.

    do you think them sitting idly by and letting trump's message of hatred spread is helping anything?

    brave people call out injustice when they see it, and they speak out in order to prevent it. i don't agree with their tactics today, but they are out there paying the price, which is more than anybody on AMT is doing right now. they will not tolerate trump or his message.

    Don't count on it, but it would be very Presidential of him if he did. That's a favorite description of Obummer I see on the train. Maybe he will have another one of his famous beer summits or say if he had a son he would look like Treycon. In all reality He is probably chopping it up on the Golf course as we speak.

    Treycon? Really? After three years of George Zimmerman run ins with the law, you think Treyvon deserved to be shot? WTF.

    Peaceful protests are one thing, snarling up traffic or inhibiting someone else's right to peacefully assemble is something different. I despise Trump with every ounce of my being and nothing will make me vote for him. But that doesn't make the protesters above moral reproach.

    Bingo... I can't tell you how many protests in Chicago that I have worked where the tax paying element of society are stuck in traffic for hours cause a bunch of clueless college kids w/ purple hair and 20 piercing are lying in the middle of the street in "protest" in solidarity w/ the oxygen thiefs from BLM. Totally counterproductive .

    i didn't say that they were. all i said is i did not agree with their tactics and that they are the ones out there "paying the price" by risking arrest, getting beaten by trump supporters, or getting beaten and or shot by law enforcement.

    Dude, that is a serious asshole statement. It's okay that a black kid got killed because he would have been killed by another black dude anyway down the road. Again. WTF. What are you doing in our community?

    I respect what you are saying, but paying the price while doing the wrong or counterproductive thing isn't necessarily smart, useful or to be admired.

    Nice fucking try. The two kids you pointed out were both black. You can try to nuance whatever you want but no one's buying that bullshit.
