Protesters were bullies

I spend a great deal of my time being frustrated with many things that all have one thing in common. Bullies. The most recent frustration I’ve experienced is the so called protest held at the Coutts border crossing and is as big a display of bullies as we have had the misfortune to be subjected to. Because they have big trucks and equipment they took advantage of a society that has generally been of the live and let live mentality with a reasonable adherence to reasonable rules. 

This group of well-led individuals took advantage of us by first proclaiming they were saving Canada and by waving the Canadian flag around convincing their like-minded counterparts of how wonderful they all were. Disgusting. My whole being shudders at what the world must now think of us. 

We sure are following Big Brother’s example. Because they are willing to be violent in a peaceful society for reasons all their own, they hold us hostage and I guess we are going to let them. Bullies and nothing more.
