    I live in the area. This is a high population density part of San Diego county but I feel safe overall.

    That's exactly one of the arguments for protests, I think, regardless of the cause. It disrupts everyone's normal life to try to bring about a change. When people that aren't part of the protest get held up because of them, it follows up the chain to cause economic and societal impacts until the protests stop. In your examples, that means that your boss is losing out on the efficiency of you being there on time, impacting the business, which impacts so many more people than just you, the one person that was held up. That inefficiency places a pressure on policy makers to come to a solution for the protesters quickly. It also means that those that can't protest because they're trying to keep their heads above water will still end up spreading the message. If they just protest outside a courthouse, then it's only that one small area that's affected. If they stop a major intersection, though... it escalates exponentially to impact hundreds, if not thousands of other businesses.

    Ideally it doesn't have to get to that point, but when the cause of the protest is nation-wide, life-threatening, and the protesters aren't seeing a change, then they'll escalate. And that has been successful throughout history.

    I'm not saying that the protesters are always right, but they do force a conversation that might otherwise not be held, which I think is a good thing regardless of the cause. And obviously it's often way more complicated than this, too, which makes it so much more difficult to discuss and so much more controversial.

    Depends on what we want to tackle. Replace tail lights, Battery relocation, welding mounts for tow bar.

    Or maybe just install the tail light and wheel it all weekend.

    We can now hit true trails without @JoBroTACO holding us back

    Nice man. I finally found out that 1st gen tundra tails fit in my glass. That'll come at a later date. I just want my pile moving again.

    Are you going to go out of your way to threaten me and try and get me banned again by reporting me to the mods if I dont agree with you and think this group is racist driven like last time I shared my opinion??

    You and I both know that disrupting traffic isnt helping their cause, quite the opposite, makes them want to build a Tacoma with a GIANT cattle guard type bumper on their front end! In case they need to get safely across a human barrier without getting killed!

    Anybody need any work? Haha.
