Have you been looking for some passive income in President Joe Biden’s America?
Well, perhaps the easiest way to make a buck is to go block a highway in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement and hope for some police pressure to get off the road.
The City of Philadelphia just announced a $9.25 million settlement to some 300 or so protesters who were tear-gassed and more by Philadelphia Police because they plopped down on Interstate-676 in the City of Brotherly Love to protest for St. George Floyd in 2020.
“The pain and trauma caused by a legacy of systemic racism and police brutality against Black and Brown Philadelphians is immeasurable,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement about the settlement.
“We hope this settlement will provide some healing from the harm experienced by people in their neighborhoods in West Philadelphia and during demonstrations on I-676 in 2020,” he added.
To be clear, the protesters on I-676 brought traffic to a grinding halt in late spring of 2020. It was a gigantic safety hazard and Philadelphia experienced nighttime riots during that same period.
The city will also donate hundreds of thousands for counseling to a nonprofit called “Bread & Roses,” which is a political organization focusing on racial, social, and every other conceivable kind of leftist version of justice.
Similarly, New York City announced last month that it would give thousands of dollars each to certain protesters who allegedly suffered police brutality during the 2020 riots as well. Sometimes it pays to be woke.
