The thing is that the protesters are just blocking commercial sites.
Let’s all wonder how the police would react if the protesters were blocking government offices.

Maybe it’s because Doc Russia and his lady came round for dinner last night


…or maybe the well has just run uncharacteristically dry, but I can’t think of a decent “Difficult Choices” scenario.
Maybe one will come to me later, when the hobgoblins have finished their clog dance inside my skull..
Bear with me.

…that would be “FLAIR” F-L-A-I-R, you ignorant assholes.
This is a flare:

I know, it’s the Daily Mail and I shouldn’t be reading it. Then again, there’s this reason to, a.k.a. Demi Rose:

Anyway, I go there so y’all don’t have to.

“Follow me for more reloading tips.”
…especially when you’re attacked by a moose:
“As he charged me I emptied my gun into him and he never stopped,” she wrote on Facebook. “I ran for my life and prayed I was fast enough to not be killed in that moment. He trampled the team and then turned for us.”
Yeah, well. Read the piece for the details about her “gun”.
Of particular interest to me is this statement:
She said no musher would ever travel with a rifle or a large caliber gun, instead preferring to scare off animals with a flare gun. And with all the jostling of the sled, the larger guns could easily go off.
Firstly, if your gun goes off because of “jostling”, you need some training and/or a better gun. The thought of something like this Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag going off by being jostled,,,?

Ain’t gonna happen.
As for mushers going out without a rifle or large-caliber handgun: if what this idiot says is true, they’re bigger idiots than I thought. FFS, even realtors carry a heavy gun when they’re showing cabins and houses in the Alaska boonies.
Bah. Apparently there’s something “sinister” about The Villages complex on Florida, as though there’s evil afoot by hoovering up a bunch of old farts, letting them have a good time and putting them into the equivalent of St. Peter’s waiting room.
To the relentlessly positive residents who fill their days with keeping fit and socialising, it is paradise on Earth.
But the immaculate lawns of The Villages — a sprawling development in Florida — hide a “sinister” underbelly, according to a filmmaker who likens it to the fake perfection of The Truman Show.
It seems as though “day drinking” is a Bad Thing, as though booze should only be consumed at night [pause to sip on my breakfast gin]. And ditto having fun:
Cheery music is pumped 24/7 over loudspeakers but ambulances turn off their sirens and funeral cars are unmarked. No one wants to be reminded of death.
Really.
Of course, if you read the article, there’s actually no dark underbelly, try as they may to find one.
Had the “journalist” spent just thirty seconds on an Internet search — as I did — he might have discovered this “shocker”: that The Jackals Of The Press cooked up a scandal about how The Villages is a hotbed of sex and venereal disease, when in fact it isn’t.
The entire motivation behind all this negativity can be explained by one word — ENVY — because gawd forbid that people who have led long, productive lives, raised families and paid taxes should now be allowed to enjoy themselves, in the twilight of their lives.
Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.
