(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) NBA fans were recently served a treat in the form of an animal rights revolution.
Or, at least, an attempted one.
Personally, I don’t understand the majority of protests. In most cases, there seems a colossal divide between the actions of the activists and the change they hope to enact.
Cases in point:
And:
‘Cause it’s the Best Way to Convince People: Ahead of the Dem Debate, Climate Change Radicals Suspend Themselves from a Bridge
From the latter’s coverage: Pro tip: Any activism that involves glue or orifices to the south of the mouth is a FAIL (but congrats to Parliament’s anti-Brexiters for managing to combine the two — touché). In Houston, this week’s radicals did manage to avoid adhesive and genitals, but there was still something dangling: Their whole bodies. Those convinced the best way to sell the world on saving itself is to hang from a bridge — because that’s the oldest trick in the book when it comes to winning an argument — got busy changing everyone’s minds Thursday. … Ahead of the city’s impending Democratic presidential primary, about a dozen activists suspended themselves from the Fred Hartman Bridge in order to fight the use of fossil fuels. As a further means of really sockin’ it to modernity, the difference-making dingleberries held yellow and red flags. Apropos of sticky stories, at Tuesday’s NBA tournament game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers, an audience member took to the court.
Her idea: Glue herself to its floor.The innovative angle: Doing so would save animals.From Fox News : The woman, identified as Alicia Santurio, is a member of the animal activist group Direct Action Everywhere.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
