Here's a FB page supporting the runners.

...They can show them the ropes.

If you have followed this "cause" from the start you would know it was based on a total lie.

They already had 350-500 show up at St Paul State Fair and they did a fake "die-in" where they laid on the ground.

There's no way these dipshits actually succeed in blocking the race. Even if they manage to get a few dozen of themselves out onto Summit Ave. making noise (and I doubt they will even be able to pull that off), what's stopping people from running up onto the boulevard or sidewalk or around through someone's yard, or hell, even cutting one street over for a block or two then going back onto the course once they're past all this nonsense?

Stopping 12,000 individual runners is a hell of a lot harder logistically than blocking a train or a few lanes of auto traffic. Unless they show up with thousands of people who are willing to risk actual prison time and burn any last shred of sympathy they may have with the public by kicking off a full scale riot anyone who wants to get to the finish line will be able to do so.

Or how about focusing on stop committing the crimes to begin with.

So what you are idiotically saying is that black people are not being killed by police officers at a much higher rate than others? You are saying that driving while black, walking while black, standing while black, does not exist? Really?

Do you not understand how our country was built upon racism, from wiping out the indians to enslaving the back race? Racism continued legally, as in it was codified into law, until the early 60's. Then it was not codified but just practiced. Redlining prevented home ownership for minorities, the most likely way to achieve and pass along wealth to your children. Minorities were denied education, job and promotions. Reduced to poverty by institutionalized racism, whites blamed them for their "failings" to achieve wealth and create homes, which still happens daily on Fox News and most corporate owned media, and parroted by such self-made, pulled-up-by-their-own-bootstraps men as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. Now trying to just get a swing of the bat, while other Americans are starting on third base, they are much more likely to be harassed, brutalized, and killed by a police force- sometimes by the need to achieve "broken window" statistics, others times by fear and racism.

Yet you want to claim that their "cause" is built upon a lie. Please expound some more from your place of privilege! You do not sound the least bit clueless.

Wow GT....you must be dyslexic if you understood that from my post. And I doubt you took many history classes (philosophy degree?) with this understanding how this country has treated minorities for the past 40 years.....post affirmative action. Your entire comment is based on pre 1960s. Ever hear of Affirmative Action? Didn't think so....look it up. And of course blacks are killed at a much higher rate......they commit over 50% of the crime in this country even though young black males make up less than 5% of the population. Really....what do you expect. You really have no clue but this isn't the place to discuss. Somehow I have the feeling you have been treated unfairly your entire life. Go back to watching MSNBC with the other dozen viewers. Good luck.

If Mike Rossi is entered he'd be my favorite to win.

He'll either begin his race at the 25.5 mile mark or drive through the blockade.

They should make t-shirts and their own finisher medals and I'd be down for the cause for the most badass hijacked "almost-but-not-quite" marathon. Set a PR at the rate 25 mile distance. If they could get Boston to recognize a projected finish as a qualifier.

You have just won the Internet.

Instead of blocking a bunch of thin and nerdy white guys, they should show they really mean business by trying to block Sturgis.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

This is like someone saying "stop child abuse" and you responding with "stop ALL abuse!". Needless and insensitive.

That being said, this marathon idea seems pretty half baked. Maybe that's generous...quarter baked?

you can't be serious. you really think that people who have trained for and traveled to the event will feel good about being blocked from finishing at mile 25 ?

I'll tell you this: no way in Hades I'd be prevented from finishing the marathon. Blood will spill (and not mine) if need be.

kill the white people
