George Floyd Protests

My little town had a nice couple days of protest. First day, a couple dozen very peaceful and quiet but a few young wise asses decided to mess with some of the protestors. Nothing crazy but one of the pester asses ended up dragged to the cop shop to help around the office cleaning and stuff. Mostly harmless but there were definitely some that went all out to agitate and one on particular had some pretty vile things to say.A few things happened that resulted in the rounding up of a posse and the next day there was a crowd of probably 100-120 in full out call and response mode. Seemed pretty intense for this tiny town and it honesty gives me chills to even think about. Laid back small town but hopefully got some mol people thinking.0

I typed this up on my NASCAR thread.
So Jimmy Johnson got a bunch of drivers together to put out a grass roots message via social media. He told them all "this doesn't work unless you all press send a 2pm"
If you missed it here it is.
Bubba Wallace wore an "I can't breathe" shirt and his crew held it up before the race and he said he was moved to tears to see that. Incased you didn't know, Bubba is the only African American in the NASCAR driving series.
The president of NASCAR says to the 40 drivers before the race over their radios "our sport must do better. Our country needs to do better"
I am very proud of my sport right now.

I am very proud of my sport right now.Their drivers and crew are some of the finest people in sports and when one misbehaves NASCAR generally acts quickly and decisively. Jimmie Johnson is such a class act ... well done JJ and NASCAR.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
did you guys see that that nascar driver today announce that he is retiring after this season due to the confederate flag ban? he has been in 31 races and never won. way to rep the confederacy there, guy.
also, with the roll cage, helmet, neck protector, and fireproof suit i would have thought he would have been better protected from all that butthurt."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
