#3 why are they demanding all the time? They are like a school yard bully always demanding but really have no way of enforcing their demands. I suggest we have Rodney King take an ass whoopin in front of the UN and fly in a bunch of LA thugs too do a little bit of rioting at the UN in NY or just hire a good arsonist and see if we can burn them out
