OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Over a thousand people gathered on the streets of Oakland Thursday night and blocked both directions of Interstate Highway 880 for hours as they protested the deaths of two black men shot by police in Minnesota and Louisiana.

Despite the violence against citizens this week and the violence against Dallas police officers Thursday night, the word “PEACEFUL” was trending hard on Twitter during the protests with over 132,000 tweets.

Yet another "peaceful" protest, and it's still happening. If Tea Partiers somehow gathered to block a freeway, we'd hear no end to the hand-wringing over how disruptive and violent they were.

I don’t even know if liberalism covers this mental disorder anymore.

Look, a lot of tweets! If the amount of delusion didn't reflect so poorly on current events, it might actually be amusing.

You know what I think a tweet is. I think it’s saying something you really mean in the heat of the moment.

It’s a look into a person’s soul. They can fake for a while that they are this or that, but sooner or later, those 128 characters are BEGGING you to tell how you really feel.

If groups are impeding traffic illegally, they are not peaceful. Black Lies Matter is a tacist terror group that promotes the killing of innocent police and white people.

The answer to your question is “never.”

“Behaving” implies respect for the rules of society.

To those who respect neither rules nor society, any excuse for mayhem is always welcome.

Libs can shut down a highway and it’s a protest...
But if a rancher shuts down a park office it’s terrorism?

When America makes them grow up; coddling them and reducing them to urban livestock has destroyed them.

This insanity started with the first BLM protests. There's nothing "peaceful" about closing roads and blocking access to buildings. These were illegal activities organized by outside agitators, and should have been stopped then.

That's the problem. Damned if I know what the solution is.

We cannot allow our emotions to lead us to bigger government and less freedom.

Back in the 1960’s when JFK was killed in Dallas, then MLK and his brother in 1968 the ‘gun control issue’ flared up with new laws and the fight for Second Amendment rights in the our time.

Was in Mexico City yesterday, major streets blocked, people couldn;t get to the airport, traffic backed up 14 miles. The Army, and everyone else needs to put the lid on these disruptions, they can go to a football field, a soccer stadium or an open field, but they DO infringe on the rights of the rest of us who want to go to work, and be about our business. CLEAN this UP....now.
