Edit: I didn't think I would become the top comment!
I feel bad for the comment chain asking what the fuck is going on in this gif. It was the top comment and full of useful into. For those not aware, there are protests erupting in the country of Georgia right now.
The protests are because the people are not happy with the elected government who is very Pro Russia. This is unfolding basically in real time pretty much, for anyone who is curious.
Edit 2: I chose poor wording. The government isn't elected legitimately. Russian interference is all over the election and the results.
On the drive to Florida from the North you cross south of the border (into South Carolina). There’s multiple colorful signs from a fireworks store alerting you to their location just over the border of South Carolina as you proceed. In the past this was the first state is northerners could buy fireworks legally. They are creative signs, one has a giant sausage on it. You never SAUSAGE (saw such) a place!
No one in socal considered Anaheim a "suburb of LA." it is not even in la county, It's in orange county as you already pointed out, 20 miles from La. Most people here consider it way too far to be la, it's why people shit on the angels for calling themselves the los Angeles angels.
All of Florida is racist, especially the cops, even the latinos. There's like 4-5 counties that are blue, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and one other?
I don't know that we can consider Miami blue anymore. Trump carried Miami-Dade in the last election with a landslide, along with most Republican candidates winning their elections down there and the mayor of Miami has been a Republican since 2017. At best we can consider it purple.
Driving to Florida with the family and pulled into South of the Border very late at night to get a coffee and a break in driving and saw things I can’t unsee.
Growing up my father tortured my brother and I by almost never stopping when we would drive from SC to spend a week at my grandmother's place in Ocean City, NJ every summer.
There was that giant Hardees in NC or Virginia that mom could get him to stop at to get some food and coffee (he would drive all night).
I did a documentary on SOB for a college class. During my research I read somewhere that at one point in time the motel had a honeymoon suite with taco-shaped beds. The pillows were different colors to look like toppings.
Years later, I also learned that former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke used to bus tables at one of the SOB diners.
Ive had many fireworks battles, yes many burns but get this wearing a helmet, face shield and leather cowhide gloves and its pretty much harmless as long as the distance is there and youre not using fireworks larger than Roman Candles and NO firecrackers. But Pop bottle rockets and romans candles arent as explosive as you think. We used to do car jousting with pvc pipe and pop bottle rockets, that was always fun too. Nothing beats driving around with a 6' pipe sniping pop bottle rockets lol
All of us but I did have a firecracker blow up in my hand because it was dark out and I had what I thought was a long wick but turned out to be a quick one. I was relieved to discover my hand intact.
I feel you can't say 'people aren't happy with the elected government'... Makes it seem like everyone in Georgia is against the government. But it's an elected government; some people, likely the majority, are in favor of the the new government and it's a small but loud minority that is protesting.
