The Mainstreaming of the Outliers

                                           The Mainstreaming of the Outliers

In downtown Pittsburgh, several people accosted customers in a restaurant, driving a number of people away. One couple stayed and was harassed, abused, and their drinks were taken. 

The harassers were from a Black Lives Matter group and the specifics are not known. One wonders if specifics are possible. It is difficult to visualize exactly what the group would want--or expect--from a number of random people sitting in a restaurant. Social justice? The end of hate?

There was a time when an individual accosting a stranger in the street with demands that could not be understood or answered would be hospitalized. Now they are introduced at halftime.
