The moronic generation, generation m - On Wednesday morning, protesters in North Carolina decided to demonstrate against racism by slowing down en masse on a North Carolina highway, thus delaying traffic and possibly endangering people by slowing the response of first responders. But after roughly 40 minutes, State Highway Patrol officers started pulling over the demonstrators. An announcement of the planned protest on Facebook stated, “Join in by slowing down to advance the people’s movement to end systemic racism. At 8:46 a.m. slow down to 10 mph anywhere on I-40. This is the people’s protest. The slowdown can be individually or a collective effort.” It added, “Maintain safe distances. Stay in your vehicles. End at 9:30 a.m. Spread the word.” The announcement named cities where the protest should take place, writing, “Calling all N.C. cities: Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington. Join in.
