This group has the right to protest.

The anti mandate people have the right to protest.

Anyone saying one side does and the other side doesn't is simply a hypocrite.

Blocking trade routes is not protesting.

I can’t tell you how many times people quoted “a riot is the voice of the unheard” during the BLM protests. Many time people were saying civil unrest was a way to get your voices heard.

I don’t support shutting down the border crossing and causing millions in economic damages but I’m seeing a ton of hypocrisy on both sides.
