HWY 29 North is being jammed by BLM Protest walking north towards Wash DC. This group is bring escorted by the VA State Police. As of right now, they are close to NGIC and other federal facility located just north of Hollymeade.

A group of about 30 religious figures from around the country gathered in Charlottesville as a symbolic starting point to talk about race in the country, with a focus on inequalities that they feel sometimes go unaddressed by other religious activists.

“Part of what we’re trying to do is disentangle whiteness and racism and anti-blackness, and even white supremacy, from our theology and from how we do church, and how we engage in the culture, from what it means we believe to truly and authentically follow Jesus.”

He's got a lot of work to do.

But, he's walking the walk (if he does). Some will ride most of the day for medical reasons, and walk the last hundred yards for the camera.

There is probably a weird mix of the well-meaning gullibles and the cynical con artists in this march.

“Religious leaders say they’ll ‘walk the walk’ from Charlottesville to DC”

And the first thing mentioned:
“HWY 29 North is being jammed by BLM Protest walking north towards Wash DC.”

So BLm is now a religious leader. And what might that religion be?

There’s no lawful recourse folks could take against protesters for causing them financial hardships by not being able to get to work or something? Or for shutting down a road critical for emergency vehicles to quickly get dying patients to hospitals?

Take down names of people walking and blocking traffic- take them to court and sue them if a person has been financially impacted, or impacted with health!

Do we talk about anything other than race these days?

I posted it for anyone in VA that uses HWY 29 - it’s a busy corridor — the fact that 30 people are taking up a single lane and two state troopers is of no concern to me - but it could be for those that travel that route ... the counties north of C-ville are heavily armed and those people are very conservative - I doubt ANTIFA will start anything stemming from this march - if they do - they are truly stupid!

Oh crap! They are headed my way. Thank God I do not have to come out of my bunker for weeks. And that is only if I run out of smokes.
