What's this?

Yes. Sticks and stones and all that. Stop being such a snowflake.

But I must congratulate you - your comments about the horrors of violent traffic blocking recast Gandhi as a man of violence.

Who says you never made a contribution to global historical perspectives!

I should find a video on the local LI news channel. I grew up in Merrick, which has been getting bad local press. A BLM March down a major thoroughfare yesterday got tense with the Nassau County cops, but they eventually reached an agreement to march 4 or 5 blocks and then turn into a side street (so I was told). So they were marching, chanting “Black Lives Matter”, and Merrick Road was lined with a bunch of white folks (the protestors were also white) flipping birds and shouting fuck off and fuck you.

So as long as you characterize all parties in this as violent because of their horrific potty mouths, I can at least respect the consistency of your snowflakery.

But of course everyone would be violent then in your view.
