Did you see the protect covrage on CNN? The funniest part is when they got the runners away from the protestors. They (protestors) didn't look like they didn't know what to do with the runners gone.
You can tell tension was building. So what does some moron do? They jam out Prince' s "Let's Go Crazy."
Then the news anchor made a remark on the firetruck that had the bucket up in the air. He said something to the fact "Why, I don't know why it's up in the air. Maybe if the protestors come, the runners can go up the bucket and take off."
LMAO
