The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

At one point, protesters attempted to force their way into the facility, eventually breaking through a glass door with a pole-like object. Protesters then moved back up the street as federal officers wearing tactical gear stepped out to guard the entrance, firing tear gas, flashbangs and acoustic weapons.

So they broke through a glass door for 100 nights in a row?

Why didn’t ICE just arrest the guy for vandalism and trespassing on night 1? That would have saved a lot of glass doors.

He couldn’t have gotten too far. He’s dressed up like a freaking hot dog.

And given that the protesters moved back up the street as federal officers wearing tactical gear stepped out to guard the entrance, why didn’t the federal officers wearing tactical gear just guard the entrance 24x7? That would have saved 99 glass doors. What else were the officers doing? Having a weenie roast?

Maybe they should have napalmed the protesters. This sounds like a very serious attempt to endanger our national security.
