Riley Gaines Held Captive by Angry Mob

Posted byThe DogwalkerPosted inUncategorized

I stand with Riley Gaines on this one. Another example of a mob depriving a person of their right to peacefully assemble. She was trapped in a room for about three hours as the protestors joked about what would be required of her to be ‘allowed’ to egress the room. Her security forces helped her out of the chaos, but she describes getting struck in the head twice by what appeared to be a biological man in a dress.

Her crime: Reserving a spot on the college campus and then assembling with a group of other concerned women, in opposition of being forced to not only cede her recent record-breaking medal in a women’s swim event to a man, but to share the locker room with this same man, who only recently in his adulthood started identifying as a woman. A man who was an average swimmer when competing with other men was able to outperform all the other women. Riley technically tied with him, but since he was more ‘stunning and brave,’ they gave the medal to him, not to Riley.

It was the spring of '68 when I was born. There were visible stars in the sky that night, or so I'm told... Some days, I ride my bicycle to the farmer's market, hang my clothes to dry, and sketch or play my guitar into the evening... Other days, I stay indoors, drink too much coffee, eat canned soup, and critique endless reruns of "Law and Order." (It's fun to wonder how all the suspects have such perfect memories as to their whereabouts, or why the longshoreman isn't curious enough to get out of the forklift when confronted by homicide detectives). Do you have friends? (I have come to be leery of dating anyone who has no friends. These people always seem to have some far-fetched conspiracy theory or weird aversion to sunlight...) Bonus points to those who... appreciate a good pun or will give a gratuitous chuckle:) can find humor in not only the absurd, but esp in the mundane :)
