'I got six kids to feed and you are going to get me fired': Angry father of 6 to protestors
Daily Mail ^ | November 29, 2014 | Wills Robinson

Father-of-six Tyree Landrum was driving to one of his three jobs when he came across a line of Ferguson protesters blocking the road in the middle of the San Diego rush hour.

Furious that the demonstrators might make him late to work and risk him getting fired, he decided to get out of his car on the I-5 in La Jolla to confront the group of students.

He then told a photographer for ABC News 10: 'If I don't get there, I'm going to get fired. I've got six f****** kids to feed.'

Mr Landrum's reaction on Wednesday has since gone viral, and has drummed up support from hundreds on social media.

Meanwhile demonstrations have continued across the country in the wake of the decision by a grand jury not to indict Darren Wilson who shot unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Many other drivers around him shared his anger, including nurses in their scrubs en route the hospital, and got out of their cars.

Mr Landrum then approached one protester standing with a bullhorn shouting: 'No justice, no peace.'

He ripped the device from him and replied: 'Hey, I feel you; we ain't got no justice either.'.......

There is a California law about blocking interstate activity,

You don't understand. California law doesn't apply to these protestors. Obama needs these guys to demonstrate what will happen if congress tries to bring impeachment proceeding against him.

Dude’s a loser. I’ve never seen anyone with more excuses for being a loser. Lives in his parent’s basement and will never breed.

This is one of many reasons I have little sympathy for unions and protesters. They claim to be doing this stuff to drum up support, yet they don’t show the slightest concern for how their actions affect people who still have responsibilities and strive to uphold them.

And what’s really pathetic is that there are people out there who would call this father a scab or whatever strikers/protesters call people who don’t agree with them for the crime of continuing to provide for his family.

As long as the father takes care of the kids, I have no problem.

You don’t....apparently even FR has the “Politically Correct” crowd. Your post is no worse than thousands of others posted on this sight and not censured!!!

I agree completely...I hate to see FR censuring such an general statement. There have been whole threads about taxpayers being forced to support non-taxpayers decisions. Although I have no idea what this guys situation is as a general rule minorities with six kids are usually taking advantage of as many government handouts as possible.
