434: Protesters are mostly idiots
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review Hare Chaser Grapefruit IPA from Flying Dog brewery, then discuss the ignorance of most protesters. You would think that if a person is willing to take time off of school or work, jeopardize their education or job, or their future, to clash with police, to protest an injustice -- that they might know something about the topic! The Ben Franklin Players come on the show to illustrate a common experience with modern protesters. When a pro-Palestinian protester says "from the river to the sea," odds are good he doesn't know which river or which sea. Then we have to consider the different treatment protesters get from law enforcement. Damage public property, steal and burn the U.S. flag and assault police officers? That's free speech. Pray outside an abortion clinic? Jail. P&C discuss the protest culture and our response.
