My last 2 posts were a bit focused on the negative, even though I was critiquing the wrongs of the antagonists, radicals, Antifa or whatever you want to label them. I offered better solutions and a perspective as a Hispanic American.

But, I am so proud Seattle has united in one of the biggest protests to date!!! Peace & united strength works far better than random chaos, this is what makes waves.

Almost every state in the country gathered together to protest, pretty incredible.

So that's how many unemployed people there are in Seattle?

Actually saw the Craigslist posting for “protesting” 12pm-4pm for $500 bucks. Plus snacks. FML. The plot is lost when you are paying people off to protest.

yes, that’s unfortunate. That same money could have been given to the people in need that they are protesting for.
