Both my kids have strong political voices, and my wife and I have both told them we think protests are stupid (we used softer wording), but we also did mot mince words that if they engaged in protests that in any way interfered with average citizens being able to go about their lives that there would be absolute hell to pay. And we used the very point I highlighted in your comment to back our point.
We had some whack-a-do professor from WWU got a bunch a people to chain themselves across the freeway here In Bellingham over a proposed pipeline in the Dakotas. It ended up causing a 5 car injury accident.
A doctor my wife worked with got caught up in the traffic jam, along with a vanload of elderly folks who were in pretty poor health. The doctor was near them went over to keep an eye on them. A few of them ended up soiling themselves. Dignity is already pretty hard to come by at that stage of life, nothing like a bunch of selfish twatwaffles to add insult to injury. I think the doctor was on his way to a funeral for close relative (aunt or uncle), and missed most of the service.
We used this situation as a clear "this is what we are talking about" follow up discussion with our kids
00Z GFS following it's 18Z run and even weaker with the weekend system. Shows temps near 70 on Saturday now. I assume the system will return on tomorrow's runs.
