Worst case it’s a free shopping trip. Just make up a sign that sounds “SJW-esque” and have at it.
Jewelers, pawn shops and liquor stores. Maybe the Target

Just wear a mask!
There is a protest walk in Olney today at 2:00. The walk is on Rt.108 from the East and West and ending up at the Georgia Avenue intersection. Given the area and the demographics, hopefully it will be pretty quiet. But traffic at 108 & Georgia Avenue (97) may be a problem around 3:00-4:00.

One now at Cabin John Middle School. Lot of cops considering the part of county.

Not going to lie, I had never heard of Juneteenth before recent. New to anyone else?
Saw a huge hildabeast at the corner of 108 and Georgia Ave last weekend with a BLM and "destroy white supremacy" sign.
Juneteenth was a big thing in Texas where it originated. It has been going national for years.
I first heard of it when I moved to Texas in 1979. I have been a little confused by it gaining so much attention outside of Texas, so I did a little research. It has had some national following since the 1920s, but kind of slipped into the background during the civil rights era of the 50s and 60s, I suppose because there were bigger fish to fry. It has seen a revival since the 1970s, especially in recent years.
On June 19, 1865, General Order Number 3 was read by the U.S. military commander in Galveston, Texas, announcing the Emancipation of all slaves in Texas. In later years, blacks in Texas began celebrating on the anniversary of that day, and they took the holiday with them when they moved to other states after World War One. Like I said, it's really taken off in recent years.
It seems to me to be an astonishingly appropriate thing to have a holiday to celebrate Emancipation, and June 19 is as good a day as any and better than most. It's a day for barbecues and cookouts, fireworks and general merry making at the beginning of summer.
It's been a thing in our area (downtown, anyway) for quite a while. In recent years, known for violence breaking out at gatherings at the National Zoo, for whatever reason. Should be quiet this year because they're not allowing the usual gathering there I don't think. It's supposed to be celebratory, but the yoot groops always F it up.
Does tearing down a statue in downtown DC count? The mob just took down (and is currently ... trying to set on fire) a big bronze statue of Gen. Pike (a confederate officer). Cops stood off and watched.
It's a good thing no mob these people don't like would ever do anything they wouldn't like, now that this is considered acceptable behavior.

Just saw it on the NBC news at 11:00. Disgusting.
Even more disgusting was reporter Shomari Stone’s giddy reaction once the statue fell claiming it wasn’t vandalism. What’s dipshit.
