Apparently, these "Black Lives Matter" members have tomorrow off. Planning to shut down 280 in B'ham.
So, will it hurt your feelings if an out of control tractor trailer rig careens into the crowd killing most of them? Just curious as to how you feel.
I feel like a direct infringement on the rights of others should mean that they go to jail. But, I doubt it happens. If I were the police chief, there would be tear gas and lots of it.
"You want to make a statement? Fuck you, you piece of shit bums. Buy a classified ad. Get a job and get out of the fricking road! People need to get to and from work", said Chief WT at Fridays ralley before he unleashed the attack dogs and tear gas.

A flier the Facebook group 'Black Lives Matter - Birmingham' is using to advertise a protest Friday afternoon that could shut down U.S. 280.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- In a letter to parents Thursday, Primrose Elementary Director Tamara Sanders said the school's Holiday Parties will continue as scheduled Friday, despite the planned demonstrations along U.S. Highway 280 and The Summit.
The school parties will still be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow, the same time the Facebook group, Black Lives Matter - Birmingham, has announced it will "shutdown" the major thoroughfare at The Summit, at U.S. 280 and Summit Boulevard. An associated "die-in" at 4:30 p.m. in the food court at the Riverchase Galleria is also planned, according to the group.
Organizers have said they plan to gather on the lawn at The Summit entrance.
The protest is believed to have been inspired as reaction to the recent officer-involved deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in New York.
"We just wanted to give you this information as a heads up," wrote Sanders in the email, "so that you can change your route to Primrose if necessary."
Other schools in the area are also in the process of preparing for tomorrow's planned demonstrations.
Vestavia Hills Elementary Cahaba Heights will dismiss students at 2 p.m. Friday, as a precautionary measure.
Should the entrance to the Summit become blocked, the only alternative holiday shoppers will have to the plaza is Cahaba Heights Road, which is also the main connecting artery to the elementary school.
In a news release, Whit McGhee, Communications & PR Specialist for VHCS, said the decision to dismiss early is due to the potential for heavy traffic congestion as a result of the planned demonstration.
All Extended Day activities scheduled for Friday at the school are also canceled.
The possibility of reduced access factored into the decision to close Cahaba Heights United Methodist Church's daycare earlier in the day Friday as well.
Officials at Mountain Brook City Schools and Homewood City Schools say they have made no special plans regarding tomorrow's planned protests and will dismiss as usual at 2 p.m. ahead of the holiday break.
