Those protesters could have stopped them. But all they did was blow a whistle and honk a horn.
Maybe they need more from suits and picket signs. That’ll stop them.
I'm so tired of this bullshit response. It's like watching sports and saying what you'd do in that situation when you have no idea what you are talking about. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Anything they do besides protest will put their lives immediately in danger and they could potentially die. Believe it or not, most people don't want to die. That's kinda the whole point of these protests. None of us want to die or get kidnapped.
I get it, we are all angry and this is all bullshit. But I'm so tired of people saying "yeah but I'd fight back and you should too" while most never even go to protests. Stop shaming people for not doing what you want to see them do with the buffer of your phone screen. You are basically saying "yeah but why didn't you die for them?" While you sit on the fucking toilet.
Enjoy martial law.
Sure thing keyboard warrior. I bet you feel like such a touch guy as you do jack shit about it. At least these people are protesting while you sit behind a screen and explain why other people need to make sacrifices for you like you are the main character.
Don't feed the trolls. It's a brand new account
