re: Every Four Years We Have “Summer Protests” about Something New, always the same types

Yeah this is going to be tame by comparison which will be disappointing to these organizers. The whole BLM thing was about US. This is thousands of miles away and most Americans have little to no actual direct connection (as in family/friends) to the conflict. It’s mostly high school and college age students and some in the Muslim communities

Exactly. I live in Los Angeles and I don't think we've had any protests or disruptions outside USC and UCLA. Contrast that to 2020 BLM when there was widespread rioting and looting.

I know the Golden gate bridge was shut down, and I believe parts of NYC and Michigan have had issues, but aside from that, I think the big protests have been relegated to college campuses.
