at least in Real Clear Politics's interpretation of the word "surround," which they apparently define as "being in the public street that runs in front of the house where Chad Wolf lives."
It's on the way to the Safeway, and if it's not raining, I might go up there on my bicycle to pick up some food.

Hang up and drive. Not a personal attack, but really, driving a bicycle is driving.
If you don't count the two black Chevy Tahoe (or equivalent) SUVs with US government plates that are parked in front of his house at all hours, it looks like all the others.
The last time I went by was two weeks ago. After watching the comet, I went up to the Safeway at 11:00 at night. They were parked there. I came back at about 11:30. They were parked there.

Its not that I give a damn about Chad Wolf, but I do care about similar protests against Bidens Admin by ignorant white wingers.
Again, dont blame you, but Id likely protest in front DHS offices, etc.

(57,738 posts)In RealClearPolitics's sense of the word, that constitutes surrounding his house.
There are a lot of streets that I could take to get to the Safeway.
The shortest way is troublesome. It requires climbing a steep hill on the way to the store, on a narrow street with no bike lanes, with parking on both sides, and with intersecting streets with lots of turning traffic. It's downhill on the way back, but if someone opens a door or turns in front of you, you'll be going too fast to stop.
The Chad Wolf route eliminates the grade, the narrowness, the heavy traffic, and the side streets with turning traffic. The route is longer, but it eliminates the hazards inherent in the direct route. If he lived on some other street, I wouldn't bother going past his house.

(54,770 posts)bicyclist, I might ride by and stop a moment too. Im just concerned about protesting at peoples houses, because our side will suffer too.

And what's a "roll"?
