    Ah, yes, buses. A very effective way of getting large groups of people to and from a location...

    It does suck but why can't they exercise their first amendment rights?

    i didn't say they couldn't exercise their rights, they can all they want, but it's utterly pointless. and it's now what 5 straight days of protesting? ok we get it, you don't like the President-elect. your chance to not have that happen has passed. it's not going to change the outcome so if you are that against him put your efforts into making positive change in other ways.

    Maybe if more participation trophies had been handed out...

    What does it say about our economy when thousands in cities across the country protest for $12 an hour?

    Exactly, maybe they are upset that they didn't get a "I Voted" sticker

    The major issue I see with these protests is that it doesn't seem they have a reasonable goal or activism outcome. He's going to remain the president elect no matter what.

    Now, if they're concerned about the human rights piece of his campaign propaganda coming to fruition, by all means make sure he and the rest of the country know that it's an important issue that shouldn't be tossed aside. Protesting is important in that regard, but again, rioting has no place anywhere. Keep it clean people.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You're lumping together rioters with the protesters. They're different groups with different agendas, but the rioters are playing on the same field.

    Sure, because it's logical to assume that people are too lazy to vote but motivated enough to march in a protest.

    Tampa Bay WR Mike Evans sat during the anthem and then said he didn't even vote.

    A protest isn't valid until it meets the criteria set by white people.

    You forgot a question mark at the end of your sentence.
    What criteria?
