Are people trying to pretend they really didn't know that one of the tactics of late was protestors PURPOSELY blocking traffic? We're not just talking about some rally where people may have happened to spill into the streets, we're talking about specific acts of deliberate traffic blocking.

Go back over it again. Lerk and Thunderous were sort of doing the pretend thing- 'Gee, how terrible, joking that you'd want to run over a protestor... why, whereever did that idea ever come from? People are just being little angelsSome mean spirited people just thought of if off the top of their heads... gee whiz, why would someone make a joke about running the protestors over? Couldn't be because they were laying down in the streets or anything. NAHHH.

Bingo!

No, but I think that's what all the Gandhi-wannabes are pretending this is about.
