Apparently, without a permit, protesters have shut down thoroughfare in Louisville (Bardstown Rd) on the Saturday before Christmas.

Can't wait for all the college kids who bar hop in that area to show up in the next few hours. Should be lots of fun.

God I can't wait for another month to pass and every one forgets about this. Worse than occupy wallstreet now.

Hopefully they shutdown that entire shithole of a city. And then they all should jump off a cliff like the lemmings they are

If they matter so much why do they kill each other off without a second glance.

It's ok.

I'm just telling people they're protesting Montrezl Harrell getting ejected from the game today. #CardsLivesMatter

Was not aware of this, tbh. Can't imagine where I'd be if this hashtag hadn't proliferated.

Those people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. The biggest threat to a young black man is another young black man. Statistics don't lie.

Just because black on black crime exists, that doesn't mean it's impossible for a dude to get choked to death for selling cigarettes. I mean, I don't necessarily think these cops are racist as much as they are just pricks with little man syndrome. But let people protest. That doesn't make them hypocrites. It might mean they are using the race card and trying to make race the dominant issue instead of a lesser issue, but they have a right to protest. Who cares?

#BlackLivesMatterWhenTheresMoneyToBeMade

No money in the half dozen people getting murdered every week in the Chicago Ghettos, so no one cares.

No what makes them hypocrites is that they're spending their time protesting in a lily white part of town insteads of actually acting like black lives matter and putting their time into improving those lives. Like volunteering at a soup kitchen in a predominantly black part of town where the unemployment rate is 1 out of 4. Or how about working on improving the lives of young black men by mentoring at their schools?

I can think of about 100 things that would really make "black lives matter" instead of this dumb shite.
