Not really. BREC is a quasi public entity and can boot them from the park if they want.

Just drove by. About 50 people holding signs. I’d say about half black half white. Very quiet

They have a right to protest anywhere that they want


No they do not. They cannot protest on private property without the property-owner's permission.

I know of at least one person on Facebook who has indicated they are planning to go. She's the type to be eaten up with the white guilt so she'll fit in well with what this really is: white people virtue signaling to other white people over a completely false premise in order to ego-stroke themselves.

I suspect that the protesters just want to puff up their chests and wallow in the good feeling that they went into a white neighborhood and confronted the residents and their alleged racism.


Right to protest anywhere (as long as it's following same & rules equally which stop when usurping rights of other individuals & that also have to be followed by other races) doesn't equate to making a positive impact. Going outside of problem area just distracts from them coming together to solve their community's real and much broader issues. Unless message is blacks cannot fix their own problems and violence including in black majority areas and cities and need outside help of superior races and cultures which not being a Democrat I don't and can't adhere to such a racist belief.

Imagine if they spent 2 hours repairing and cleaning up neighbors with black on black violence and taking care of the people there who fear other blacks.

This just pushes people away who have been seeing these pop up for only certain black lives while ignoring all lives including black ones taken by other blacks.

The ones who cheer their impact remind me of WWE performers and fans cheering fake wins. Performance & symbolic gestures over making real change within their community (or for the anti-fada types making real change in black community after they first find out where they are).

I saw more people lined up at the barbeque joint trying to buy ribs and potato salad earlier.

It was probably like 40 people, most were fat white ladies. They kind of just stood there. A few had signs, not many. Overall it was pretty meh. Looked low energy.

Never made it down there. Wife (no pic) came back from the store and said it was pathetic and wasn’t worth going see.

Me and the kids went riding bikes over at the park. As others have said, it was a small gathering. They had a tent and holding signs. They were peaceful and exercising their 1st amendment rights. All good.
