Luckily, the overall negative economic impact of the BLM protests was far less.

Unless you are a business owner with no business. Or you were alive and now arent. Look at the Baltimore "protests" and the literal scar it left on the city, and give me a long term loss projection outside of initial assets.

But I guess they dont matter because they get rounded away in the aggregate.

'I'm ready. I am not afraid.' Freedom Convoy leader breaks down saying she expects to be hauled off to jail TODAY - as she urges supporters to continue their fight and 'to be kind and respect police'

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich has tearfully said she expects to be hauled off to jail Thursday - as truckers occupying downtown Ottawa await the looming police crackdown.

Lich, a former fitness instructor from Saskatchewan, cried openly in an emotional video Wednesday evening in which she accepted her fate and thanked fellow activists for their support.

'There's a pretty good chance - well I think it's inevitable at this point - but, uh, I'll probably be going somewhere tomorrow (Thursday) where I'll be getting three square meals a day. And that's OK,' she said.

'I'm OK with that. And I want you to know that I am not afraid.' Putting her head in her hands, she added: 'I'll probably get some sleep finally.'

Lich, the president of Freedom Convoy 2022, has been a prominent but mysterious figure in Ottawa who typically refuses media interviews.

Her video appeared almost as a farewell message, while imploring other activists and the truckers to continue their battle.

Which leads to what conclusion?

Same conclusion we reached in the other discussion.

I have never refuted the fact that 98% (assuming accurate reporting) of the BLM protests reported remained peaceful.

I have tried to explain it to others multiple times in these very threads.

The conversation about the negative economic impact of the BLM protests and compared to the truckers' protest.
Try to keep up.

The truckers' protest has been far more damaging to the economy....but who really cares about lost wages, right?

No that’s just your ridiculous spin. We can do without the blm terrorists doing what they do. Not so much the truckers.

Just stating the facts.
The truckers are hurting the economy far more than BLM protests ever did.
But if you're good with that, so be it. Maybe the billions in losses they have caused are worth it.
