The Right to Moronic Protest
Like every other weekday morning I found myself listening to NPR on the radio while driving to work and thinking that they should rename their show “Democracy Now” to “Socialism Now”. All personal opinions about the radio station aside, they covered a story this morning that really made me laugh.
They were talking about the recent protests taking place at a few universities around the country; one in particular was the protest in California where protesters blocked a major highway near San Francisco in Oakland. The protest took place due to recent budget cuts taking money away from California Universities. Now remember, California is currently bankrupt and is going more and more in debt as each day passes. To the socialists and liberals who don’t get it… that means THERE IS NO MONEY! But I digress…
They interviewed one official who said that the CHP and Oakland Police responded to the scene to arrest the protesters so they could reopen the highway and that they were going to do it in the most peaceful manner possible. They then interviewed one of the protesters who said, and I quote, “The police were like chasing after people with their masks on and jumping on them to handcuff them. They were like hurting people, ya know. Why would they do that?”
Let that sink in for a second… “Why would they do that?”…. Maybe because you were breaking the law! Maybe because you were blocking a major highway and putting yourselves and thousands upon thousands of commuters at risk!
The logic of this protest doesn’t make sense either. Think about it… budget cuts happen because there is no money as a result of a declining economy. The only way to stimulate the economy is to get people working. But by blocking a major highway they are preventing thousands of people from getting to work which prevents them from stimulating the economy. This leads to greater economic hardship and additional budget cuts. So, in a sentence, these protesters are making the problem that they are protesting about worse!
That, my friends, is what made me laugh. As is usually the case these retards are so quick to grab their signs and go protests against the man that they didn’t even think about how their actions would effect the problem they were upset about. Liberals are so quick to pick up a sign, block a street, and start yelling about how the man is holding them down. If they had any intelligence they would find a much more productive means to not only let the world know about their displeasure but also help to fix the problem instead of making it worse.
Do not get me wrong. I stand behind the right to protest. But you don’t act like a retard and put other peoples lives at risk.
