Nobody’s Perfect When It Comes to Protesting…

Nobody’s Perfect

Nothing like a good protest to make you feel like you matter, right?

Last week, we had two examples of protesters who just refused to be ignored. Their missions were heartfelt, emotional, and like most protests, rather pointless.

First up: Doug Hughes, a mailman from Florida, decided that he wanted to tell the world that the corruption of big money in politics had to stop. So, he did what any normal postman would think of doing…delivering his 535 protest letters to Congress via gyrocopter.

He made it to the West Lawn of the Capitol, then crashed.

You have to ask yourself, why he didn’t just put those letters in the mail himself? Because he was on a mission. So he planned this for two years, even called the FBI and told them what he was planning so they wouldn’t shoot at him, and it worked!

“As I have informed the authorities, I have no violent inclinations or intent,” Hughes wrote on his website, thedemocracyclub.org. “An ultra light aircraft poses no major physical threat – it may present a political threat to graft. I hope so. There’s no need to worry – I’m just delivering the mail.”

Everybody wonders WHY he wasn’t shot down? But why should he be? Most everybody in the country knows that Congress is NEVER at work. And it’s Hillary’s main message: Get the money out of politics…which means the Koch brothers need to be stopped in all future elections—it certainly doesn’t hurt the Clinton message that the people want to get money out of politics so badly, they are willing to sacrifice their own lives to make the plea.

Right?

 Second: PETA decided to stage a protest of a circus, because the animals are being mistreated according to them…so they showed up at the Ramos Brothers Circus in Southern California, and it didn’t turn out so well—it seems the PETA  protesters and the clowns got into a big brawl inside the tent:

Circus workers allegedly tried to stop the activists, who had been picketing outside the property where the family-run show was performing, from forcing their way inside the tent.

Two protesters were arrested following the big top brawl and Ringmaster Oliver Ramos claimed his lip was split after he was hit in the face with his own megaphone.

The ringmaster said it was the activists who were acting like animals.

“These people are just crazy fanatics … it has to stop,” Ramos said. “These people are getting out of hand.”

So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?

Was it Doug the mailman who practiced flying his gyrocopter in order to become the only man in postal history to deliver mail by gyrocopter? Was this a way to get rid of those gas guzzling trucks and make the postal men just fly onto your front lawn? Will he still get his pension?

Or was it the PETA protesters who got so mad and vicious, the clowns had to put them down?

Who wins? NOBODY! Heck, I protest the govenment every single day, along with millions of others who are protesting our govenment every day, and what good does it do?

They just don’t make protests like they used too…the Boston Tea Party. .now THAT was a protest.

If you protest now, they just send in the drones.  BUT..if I had to pick a winner it would be….

The Clowns.
