By not protesting against Hamas, are they supportive of Hamas in Gaza?

Where is this kind of action when it comes to homelessness in their own communities. Instead they block people from work and potentially loosing money to pay their bills and creating more frustration for people literally trying to get by.

These people have nothing better to do unreal

[grhinson]

Can't they think of something that gets there point across without making themselves looking bad...

The privilege to stand around for hours doing nothing because they have no obligations. These people are the most unaware I've ever seen.

Never interfere with your enemy when they are in the process of destroying themselves

This ain't happening in Florida or Texas which is 2nd and 3rd in population of our states. Wonder why lol.

This is not helping the cause they are protesting for. Protesting peacefully is a great freedom that we enjoy, for now, but these group's actions are bordering on domestic terrorism. I'm sure the Jan 6th protestors felt, at the time, that they were doing the right thing. To be clear, I do support peace in the middle east and not Trump's insurrection attempt, but there are some unfortunate parallels where individuals feel their cause is just enough to commit illegal acts and force all people, regardless of their opinion on this topic to suffer.

Democrat President Joe Biden could care less!!💙

Mark my words, These People are Dangerous and something Bad is going to Happen. I hope Homeland Security is keeping an eye on this situation 😮
