Michigan is finally rebuilding that piece of road now.

  • Theflyersfan I guess he heard all of the stories about how his family treated protesters in pre-1994 South Africa and was jealous... Maybe he needs to read onto the next chapter about what typically happens to leaders and bosses who don't take these protests seriously. Hint: Usually doesn't end well.
