Ok. But this is an article in a local Louisville paper, right?


So not just Hot Air or something like that, right?

I think this is still part of the greater problem, which really gave us Trump. Shoot the messenger to avoid listening to the message. We all agree with the way Trump assaults the institution of the free press with his attacks on fake news and all that.

I don’t think we should join in that effort. Again, I know nothing about this one story other than Dan’s link. But it isn’t completely unimaginable that protestors encountering a business that doesn’t fall in line with their message would be threatened, or worse.

I have an Uber-liberal buddy from UVA who owns a vegan restaurant in Cambridge, MA - doesn’t get more stereotypically lefty than that. And he lives in fear of demands he gets to post support for BLM on social media. He supports them, but he knows that nothing he posts will be considered sufficiently pure. He’s in a no-win position.

So, whatever outlet reported this, it has a ring of truth to me.
