That’s terrible. The solution is quite simple. If you block the freeway (or any road), the police should arrest you. You don’t get to obstruct traffic because you’re mad.

[Topshelf]

This is not allowed BY LAW! This is NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED PROTESTING.

Since they love Palestine so much, let’s just send them all over there to sort out the mess. Blocking traffic here in a different country to force your beliefs on people is unacceptable and should be illegal. It’s also endangering lives because they’re blocking roads for emergency services!

I thought it was against the law to block traffic in the Highways ? Arrest them now!

[pinkkitten_nails]

I remember back when we had laws. Closing a bridge was a federal offense. Now any ignard those having a bad hair day can stage a protest for a cause they don’t understand and break laws

[megaflux]

blocking traffic in california is the very definition of domestic terrorism.

[dacokc]

why do we bend to the will of people like this? if you want to protest go do it at city hall.... you have no right to be blocking the road like that.

[KatieSherrill]

That helps absolutely nothing, just gonna piss people off actually trying to get to work

[suzannebaker]

Arrest them! People have to work, go to Drs appointments, what about emergency services? They Aren't allowed to obstruct mass transportation. To do this on a bridge is dangerous.

[soltantio]

These pro Hamas protesters are the most entitled people in the world. Nothing else matters except the cause they think is important. Maybe if they had lives they would realize that other people do too

[jackyflowers]

Will they be arrested? They should be. It is illegal to block commercial vehicles from delivery. This is stupid.

[ejdiii]

It is illegal to block the public from public roadways to prevent them from going about there daily life, and the interstate is a FEDERAL highway, totally illegal, to stand, walk, sit, lay, or any other such things is prohibited by FEDERAL LAW on ALL interstates.

[mediocreman]

They'll protest Gaza, but don't care about their own city falling apart. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

[ericsj]

Hey palestine gaza people whatever. You are NOT HELPING YOUR CAUSE! Promise!

[patrickvega]

This is not peaceful! How about all the people who need emergency services during this time?

[WingsOfAzazel]

This isn't protesting, this is trying to forcefully take people's rights in order to get their way. While knowing diddly squat of what the real world is actually like.

[alexstavrianopoulos]

It’s a shame that these protestors are crippled financially and cannot afford flights to Palestine to help.

[Judgment_Day]

My kids would be asking me why is the ride so bumpy all of a sudden

[DBRB]

6 people ?!? 6 people shut this thing down? I was thinking it was like 100-200. This is ridiculous.

[cherylschneider]

Insane! Then they wonder why we don't like them. Send them packing.
