You can't stand in the middle of traffic blocking an entire city holding your hands up and act like that is legal. It is hard to fathom the stupidity of some people.
It's also interesting how some people are horrified to see armed forces showing up and many of us cheering it on. I haven't seen many lawful protests over the last 130 days. Most are full of blatant lawbreakers. Trespassing, littering, disturbing the peace, vandalism, noise ordinance - these are just the start. I would not have a problem with the cops barging straight and enforcing all of these laws.
Believe me, no one wants to be like Portland, OR. Complete shit show.
