Brenden LaRosa showed up to protest during First Night festivities with a message: Americans must talk to each other about race and policing, no matter how hard — or how unpopular — the conversation is.
“We almost want people to feel uncomfortable. Then you’re forced to answer this question, and you’re forced to question the way you feel about it,” said the 19-year-old from Everett, who joined other demonstrators Wednesday evening in Copley Square.
He estimated that he has been to five protests against the recent grand jury decisions not to indict white officers who killed unarmed black men in New York and Ferguson, Mo. “We don’t want you to walk by and think you didn’t see anything.”

The left is always uncomfortable. It must be hell to be them.

The officers will be sure to return the favor when they slap the cuffs on your hadns behind your back in the squad car a little too tight when you’re whining and crying like a little baby.

Yet out here in flyover country they’ve given me nothing but mild amusement.
Then maybe we'll talk.
When they say americans must talk to each other.... they mean they talk and we listen. They do not care about a dialogue that addresses the core problems.
I think I saw a bunch of shiftless idlers.
The left wants to deal with a paper fire over Blacks/police confrontations while they ignore the forest fire that is the disintegration of the social fabric of Black America for a variety of reasons, mostly caused by liberal policies. The left causes discomfort and much worse to everything and everyone they come into contact with.

I’d be more than happy to talk to her or any of the ghetto rats about it, no matter how hard it was for her to hear.
So what happens when the silent majority has had enough and wants you and the thugs you are marching with to feel uncomfortable. What happens when that tipping point is broken. The left never thinks things all the way through. It is all about the power of the moment never able to see three steps ahead to the consequences.
Holder said we need a conversation about race.
I think we should make the protesters feel some discomfort.
WE DEMAND TEE PEE FOR OUR BUNGHOLES!!!!!!
It's other people's discomfort--ours--that they are talking about. They want US to be uncomfortable so we'll change to suit them.
I agree. My sister in law is like that, she’s always miserable. You would think her face is going to break if she were to crack a smile.
