That the movement has expanded to now include white allies is neither here nor there. BLM organizers have been using this tactic for years. You wanted to know why they chose it, now you know.

Actually that wasn’t a question. I didn’t want to know why they chose hulighways I said I don’t understand why anyone would protest on highways, what do you expect. A large possibility of getting hit. And I’ll repeat, common sense goes a long way.

I don’t agree with it honestly. It’s much too dangerous and it’s not worth anyone losing their life in such a terrible way when we have safer options.BionicBunny wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 2:17 pm Actually that wasn’t a question.

So when you said you didn’t understand, gaining said understanding was not your goal?

wow, totally my bad, I thought you actually wanted to gain some insight, you could have said sooner that you just wanted to victim blame some murder victims

I took it as a rhetorical "I don't understand", as if to say "what imbeciles would do such a thing". I think we all have figured the impetus behind blocking traffic and shutting down expressways. It's pretty obvious.moviestar wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 2:32 pm So when you said you didn’t understand, gaining said understanding was not your goal?BionicBunny wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 2:17 pm Actually that wasn’t a question.

Your biggest mistake here is thinking I would want you to explain anything to me. All you are here for is picking fights and making an ass out of yourself. You proved that with southern! Not many people here want to interact with you. I am one of those!

Yes, bunny already explained that she was just trying to victim blame.
