Police need to REMOVE them. They should not hav been left out there for this long.

I think they're making a mistake by blocking freeway because it will make people mad at them instead of sympathy for them

[syphaxpay]

actually, I was blocked from going to university that day because of a protest, I immediately donated 300€ to the IDF

People are trying to go to work, this is annoying

I'm so glad I looked at this right when I got onto the on-ramp. Had to make an illegal U turn down the on ramp before i got stuck.

This will only make people mad and not care about their cause. 😡 I already don’t care.

There you see some clowns, protesting for a a country they don’t live while Oakland is going downhill 😂

[randylahey]

Can someone explain what the protesting is about please?

Donate money to help:❌
Block Roads for no reason:✔

People are so ignorant.
How does anyone going down the road have control of what happens in another country ?
Shit, we can't fix what's going on in our own neighborhoods, yet protestors expect what to happen by shutting down roads ???

This is childish ignorance perpetuated by adults...

You want to protest, go somewhere that it will matter or make a difference...

Very disappointed to see Mayor is not taking any action to stop this. Send them to Iran. America failed showing humanity to those protestors. High time for the gov to act. These things SHOULD never happen again. Everyone is abide by the law. No one should take advantage of this wonderful country.

[troyehnisz]

All those police are afraid to confront a few hippies what a joke defund these idiots.a few unarmed citizens could have the road open in minutes

Don't cowardly attack your neighbors now you pay no pity

In the words of Public Enemy, "YO let's go bum rush the show!"

[TomJameson-xgcv]

Why doesn't Israel heed the calling "Free Palestine"? They're saying it's free, just go take it already!

[jonjuan]

Is there a word that describes global domination in support of a deity? Blockades at work here and the Suez Canal.

Free Palestine plus shipping and handling
