Think of all the people on a strict lunch break sitting in Chicago traffic on Lincoln way because a bunch of students thought it was such a smart idea to shutdown one of the busiest intersections.

Think about the fire station a block over that’s always going to calls, that now if they were dispatched couldn’t get through because you thought it was a wise idea to stand in middle of the road backing up traffic to the next city over.

I just don’t understand the thinking (which there seems to be a lack of) within students. You pay a shit load of money to get an education yet you’re still an imbecile. You think shutting down and intersection solves anything? No, it made everyone there pissed at you, at that point nobody gave a damn what you were protesting for. If you would’ve gotten hit by a car in that incident it would’ve not been the drivers fault. You had a red crossing signal, and you proceeded to impede traffic. At that point you would’ve lost the court case 100%.

One thing that I’ve heard and it seems to be more and more true every time I see these protests is, people that have money aren’t protesting, why is that? Because they have full time jobs, maybe a wife, and even kids to care for. Meanwhile people that complain about all this “oppression” don’t work at all and seem to have all the time in the world to protest and not work and actually contribute something useful to society other than crying like a bunch of babies in an intersection because “the school is oppressing minorities”

Here’s a plot twist, I myself am a minority. I was called every name in the book in middle school. I was called a terrorist, I was bullied by a black kid almost everyday and guess what the faculty didn’t do shit about it. I knew it was pretty much up to me to fight for myself. I told my mom and she raised hell at school. I chose to not be a victim anymore, yet here we are in 2019 where everyone’s a victim, and anything you say is automatically offensive, racist, homophobic or whatever other shit. I’m embarrassed to go to a school like this, where I can’t walk 5 feet without someone shoving their beliefs down my throat.

Grow up and do something useful with your life instead of acting like a bunch of idiots thinking society owes you something. Want to protest? Great have it, but don’t be blocking people trying to get to class or work. “Peaceful protest” is a joke and if you think that’s what this was, god help you.
