Been overwhelmingly peaceful. It is very difficult for people to complain about them. Difficult, not impossible. We have the right to protest, they go on the sidewalk and make noise and hold signs an let people know you disagree. But when you block traffic, thats a form of violence. Jon yes thank you, blocking traffic is a form of violence. How dare these marchers put our streets in some kind of lets call it a chokehold of traffic. How dare they wouldnt have anything to do with the streets being black, now, does it . You know, if you are that convinced that impeding manhattan drivers is a form of violence, i think its time to indict the new york marathon. Macys thanksgiving day parade, the puerto rican day parade, gay pride pa rate, st. Patricks day parade, halloween parade, the german american parade or any random popup street fair selling misery meats and tube socks, and i havent even gotten to the most violent of offenders.

The protest have even spilled over into professional sports. Athletes donning tshirts expressing a desire for justice. Last time i checked, tshirts dont block traffic.

I wondered to myself, what if lebron james instead had a shirt be a better father to your dad. I mean be a better father to your son. Raise your children. Those difficult issues are not being dealt with by the black community. Jon well, be a better father. Lebron actually liveds that message.

Then we speak to former senator mike gravel. The people must know the full story of what has occurred over the past 20 years within their government. The story is a terrible one. It is replete with duplicity against the public and public officials. I know of nothing in our history to equal it for extensive failure and extensive loss in all aspects of the term.
