The people in West Allis, Wisconsin have a lovely holiday tradition.
They have a neighborhood they’ve dubbed “Candy Cane Lane” from just after Thanksgiving to just after Christmas. Everyone decorates up a storm so it’s quite the sight to see, people come from all around just to visit.
But it’s not just the decorations. Visitors are encouraged to donate to childhood cancer research and blood diseases as they drive through the area, for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC). They raised $121,000 last year and have raised almost a few million since they started in 1984.
So you would think that’s the last thing that anyone would want to disrupt.
But then the Black Lives Matter group has a different view of the world.
Members of the “People’s Revolution,” a BLM group, showed up at the event on Friday night.
They chanted “Black lives matter!” “No justice! No peace!” “Whose lane? Our lane!” “Whose streets? Our streets!” One of their members on a livestream said they were “as loud as can be. Waking up each block with holiday cheer, screaming “NOJUSTICE, NO PEACE”, until all around hear” and that they were “giving the gifts of our demands for Black and Brown lives.”
Seriously? Who thinks this is a good idea to do this, not only just to a Christmas event for kids but a cancer charity no less?https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/12/21/watch-blm-crash-and-disrupt-a-christmas-cancer-fundraiser-for-kids-n298268
