Once my daughter starts school in Chicago this fall. We @buddhashould all have a meet up at some point over the next four years. Maybe not the drive by, blockade bar though. I am even down to take a bike ride there.
I see your point but an example I have was in my red state Indiana. People were peacefully protesting the Floyd murder and everything was fine. Then a bunch of protesters blocked the main downtown street. Cops came out with Riot gear and tear gassed the crowd to clear the road. It went to court and portesters tried to sue the local police but case was thrown out.
Well here you go, the home team Northrop (My wifes Alma Mater) vs. North Side (My Alma Mater) big brawl just last night. AAU families carrying this style of ball all the way through highschool.
