Detroit protesters show how it's done!

Some self-styled activists do nothing but hem, haw, and heehaw instead of getting shit done. They'd rather generate excuses than do anything productive.

But I dig the way people do things up in Detroit.

After a voter referendum repealed Michigan's right-wing emergency manager law last year, the fascist legislature immediately passed the law anew. So folks in Detroit launched a protest against this law!

Protesters have opted to block all 4 lanes of southbound Interstate 75 in Detroit by driving very slowly. They even did this on the day of the Tigers' first home game of the season. Best all, these protests will continue!

Truck drivers threatened to do this in Indiana during Super Bowl weekend last year after the Hoosier State passed an unconstitutional "right-to-work" law. The protest was nixed by union leaders who feared retaliation by government officials. But I know from experience that you can't go through life being afraid of your own shadow. That's why I took the initiative and led Tuesday's Occupy demonstration against the Tea Party's assault on our libraries.

Strength wins. Weakness loses.
