If this aint the truth

He's buckled in for safety

Iirc just a poor fella that was found on the side of the road (he had been hit?) and the driver scooped him up to take him to a vet.

Yup, can confirm, I saw that picture of the inbred crowd on the steps of the Michigan state house trying to get noticed.

Do you know why they were protesting?

Yes, because they were unthinking childish brats who were pissy because they didn't want any social distancing rules.

So you don't. Figures.
