No criminal charges???!!! This is why Memphis is so screwed up!!!

[swaveenger]

I thought blocking bridges was a federal offense

Stop interfering with others lives over something we can’t stop. 😡

Should be in fucking jail. Rediculous and of course MPD and the city just let it happen, don't hold anyone accountable and then wonder why people think they can do whatever they want.

[memphislongway]

Y'all protesting in the wrong place

[leert]

Peaceful protests do not unlawfully hold innocent people against their will. They do not impede others from being able to get where they need to be. Blocking highways and bridges is against the law. The police should have put everyone out there in patrol cars and hauled them to jail and it shouldn’t take two hours of dealing with toddlers, asking them to move, you make them move.

Why are they doing all this in America, go over there with all that

The all talk governor of TN Bill Lee said last time they blocked the bridge if they did it again he was going to send TN state Troopers to do the job since Memphis can’t and we are that was all talk.

No one is facing criminal charges? Seriously! These people need to more concerned about why is going on in the US! The problem is holding no one responsible!

[Tatsunami_Studios]

wtf is the deal with people blocking traffic to protest.

[revolutionaryhamburger]

By harming innocent people who have nothing to do with the ancient religious strife endlessly going in the rotten region, these people accomplish nothing but make themselves unwelcome here. Why would they want to do that?

[Phartmonster]

Yeah, that'll stop the war! Get the f out the way

[marcushester]

Once you come to america and gain citizenship and call this your home, please dont root against us. You've chose your side!!

Chicago signed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.🤣😅😂😂😂😅 comedy gold.

[bradimcbride]

Isn't blocking traffic a traffic violation 😅

[lelo]

No one should be allowed to shut down a major bridge on an interstate. Especially on a river that connects the nation.. These people should be prosecuted for this. There are many other places to protest with permits.

[Nanz]

People are moving out of memphis by the droves, police dept is a laughingstock of America

[bree]

Go to Gaza and protest and stop blocking up streets in America jes, do a hands on approach 😂😂😂😂😂let them know you support them lol

[bobby]

This has nothing to do with Memphis Tn.

Suddenly, after seeing this, there's peace in the middle east. Now move it.
