And every radio station has the same story. Outraged opinions from the citizenry. People on both sides, standing their ground. Lawyers from each side spewing out scripted boring reactions, while charging their clients a shit load of money.

Why cant they waste everyone’s time, money and energy and make such people shut up and keep their equally stupid opinions to themselves, and not skew public opinion more.
