Nationwide Protests, Again

This is big.  This ain't right.  This is tonight, here in Madison.

A crisis, weeks of restricting personal freedoms, an incompetent and inflammatory leader, ethnic groups more disadvantaged than usual, and what do you get?

I guess your police behave as they do because of the US's overly-liberal gun laws?

Safe/social distancing? I predict a rise in C-19 cases round there...

Keep safe.

Keep safe Scott, it's getting crazy out there. As BW said a crisis is here and possibly it will escalate.

The protest lasted most of the day peacefully until some idiots started breaking windows and throwing rocks at the police. Yes, people have been pent up in quarantine but this is no way to come out. But the bottom line is our cops have to stop killing black men or these will only get worse.

And yes, opening up again just because people are tired of quarantining is causing a predictable spike in new cases. Covidiots.

Chances for a second term for Trump after this?

Our media are portraying your law enforcers as institutionally racist - like ours were in the 70s and 80s. But, given that The Orange One is overtly almost every -ist there is, I'm not sure it can change fast enough.

You do live in interesting times; just when one thinks they can't get any more interesting, they do!

You're asking the wrong person - I never thought he had a chance the first time! Actually, Hillary got more votes but Trump won due to our archaic electoral college.

I'm already hearing talk about Wisconsin being a swing state and Trump will need to win here to win again. We'll see...

Interesting times, indeed!
