That needs to change. Stuff like this will only get worse if Trump is re-elected because he makes it acceptable for all sides to move to their respective extremes.

Also, I doubt any of these assh-ts are voting for Trump or Biden. In fact, their social media likely expresses a hatred for Biden. These are Bernie acolytes. Can you imagine how much worse it would be if Bernie was the nominee?

Oh blow it out your ass. With a president who actually wants people to have health care a ton would simmer down.

Oh sure that would make this all go away.

Idiot.

I think it’s time to buy a gun. Never thought I’d say that.

It's really too bad. I used to spend thousands of dollars per year between penn quarter, chinatown and 14th street restaurants. Now with all the thugs and shootings we decided to no longer go in for DC dining until law and order returns to the city. Probably will require a new mayor and the city may never come back from this downward spiral.

Bye bye - going to a few Caps games a year doesn't qualify you to comment on DC matters. You and your SUV racing through my neighborhood won't be missed.

This is insanity. Regular people will not stand for these strongarm tactics. People will vote with their feet and their dollars. Who wants to go downtown when you could be confronted by a lawless mob? Who wants to live in cities that tolerate this?

Ok. I am a super liberal Democrat but this is NOT ok behavior, especially in the age of covid.

If you read the thread, it makes clear that a Black protest leader urged the White protesters in their group to come to the front to harass the diners.

Now that it’s blown up, BLM supporters are claiming these were just clueless White kids being a nuisance or even Trump supporters trying to create bad publicity. If only.

I don’t think a White diner being harassed to offer up her solidarity compared to another Black man getting shot by police, but these tactics by spoiled, aggressive youths - even if their behavior is fueled by a mix of anger about police brutality and utter uncertainty as to their own futures - will benefit anyone other Trump, especially when most Democrats in senior positions won’t criticize their behavior.

We are so screwed.

The diner is absolutely being harassed and it should be considered assault. These leaders aren't leaders and police brutality is an issue with all races if you look at statistics. Assaulting innocent people is never ok and that's not protesting. Those weren't kids. They looked like people in their 20's.

I’m over here laughing my ass off. All you progressive SJW were lapping this behavior up when it happens to republicans. But now since anyone is fair game and heaven forbid your bubble of safety has been breached, you are all melting down.
It’s shit like this is why Tennessee nip these thugs in bud with increased penalties. Hearing lots of screams for the bad, bad racist police now.

This has absolutely nothing to do with police brutality. It is assault.

This. This behavior is made even worse by the fact that it could literally KILL her.

Look at police killings. Twice as many whites are shot than blacks. Hispanics are about equal in numbers.

This happened Monday night. Videos didn’t start trending online until 5pm today. Mayor is probably just hearing about this and will give MPD a bit more leeway to enforce sidewalk and street orders on the protestors

Some humans are assholes. Some of these assholes happen to be BLM protesters.

It's important to separate the issues and ideas behind the BLM movement and idiotic asshole behaviors by some of the protesters.

I support BLM and I completely disagree with these tactics because they're not productive, irresponsible, and yes, it's harassment.

Maybe so, but it tends to suggest that “when they go low, we go high” were just empty words.

I heard somewhere a joke

“When they go low, we go lower. So you don’t have to. Stay up!”

If you scroll down, it looks like there were numerous incidents of this happening. This isn't the first one. I was surprised no restaurant staff tried to help either time.
