    I have had my truck beat on by protesters..... It only takes one crazy idiot to ruin your day.

    By not stopping and just doing his job I say he avoided confrontation who has time for it to escalate?

    Years ago there were some no beef crazies that came into the old Union Stock Yards in San Antonio and went around and flat black spray painted all the windows and mirror glass on a few trucks that were busy unloading. That was messy but at least it wasn't a hammer.

    Damaging/vandalizing someone's truck is pretty low and pathetic.

    I don't understand the mindset of protestors these days. Most have no skin in the game and the stuff they protest against doesn't even affect most of them in their day to day lives.

    Don't like beef? Go vegan.

    Don't like oil/pipelines? Stop driving, turn off your heat, stop buying stuff made from plastic.

    Don't like lumber? Go sleep under a bridge somewhere. No cardboard box for you!


    Just leave the rest of us alone. You're just annoying us with your BS.

    Half tempted to order up a fat steak. And sit down indian style and eat it right there on the line. See how they like it getting all hungry.

    The ONLY time I EVER had.... thoughts of weakness was in CA off 99 above Bakersfield in a valley where they grow a hell of alot of #### good things to eat. Yum. And here I am thinking of a medium sized butcher with kill tower and dairy etc.

    Three brown cattle (I am not familiar with that kind of breed, it's almost like a big Holstein cow for milk spray painted brown. Brown Bess? Anyway. There they are lined up for the ramp against the fence. One shoved his nose into my hand and then took a bite of my belt. So I loved on it a little bit wasting time waiting to get empty.

    Next thing I know I had 3 of them nosing in for my company. They are fixing to be processed, chopped into meat products and god only knows what else (We waste nothing) and here I am making friends with #### things. Maybe they were someone's pet.

    That got me then. I had to walk away and get out the towel...

    The driver didn't have enough time to stop. Because the protesters were into the driveway so far. If they were curbside I'd say he tryed to run them down. As the vid shows it it's the protesters fault.
    Stay safe, keep the shiny up and the grimy side down

    Brown Swiss, or just Swiss, they aren't all the same shade, vary from light grayish brown to almost black.

    Probably the most laid back breed there is..
