Why? Protesters arrested after shutting down Golden Gate Bridge for hours, with traffic blocked for nearly 5 hours before it started moving again just after noon. 🔗 https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/protest-golden-gate-bridge/3510362/
Pretty dumb IMO. Big thumbs down from my end. You want to protest, do it outside White House or outside your state's mayor's resident. Don't disturb common peoples lives. Many of those hourly workers might lose their pay. Someone might miss their flight to important meeting or someone might be taking their close one to ER. Disturbing common people is sure shot way to make them not support your cause. Govt should increase the punishment for these protestors instead of punishing and releasing them in 3 hours. Have been seeing this nonsense across EU and now even in USA.
Only can get away with this in the US. Anywhere else = long term arrest, jailed or worse
Nope. Not really. There are tons of protests in the UK for "just stop oil." It's pretty much the same end result as the US. In fact, people who drive past them are arrested for intention to kill 🤦♂️
They should have done that in Washington, they could have got paid for doing that.
I believe it did happen in W-DC. Spray painted WH and Lafayette Park
Protest is supposed to be inconvenient for the people around it. It's the only way people like you seem to care at all
Unfortunately it’s not.
What is this supposed to accomplish? Do people being inconvenienced on their commutes have any power to change the situation? Fly to Israel and protest there if you want to remotely make a difference.
Pissed off people can definitely change the status quo and force their congresspeople to stop sending military aid to Israel
that is dumb. The US is the only thing Israel is forced to listen to, except most of the time US is just sheep
They make everyone hate them and their cause even more. Let them
If you were stuck in traffic because of these dip💩s, the best revenge is to donate to AIPAC in their name: https://www.aipac.org/membership 😁
Smart 🧠
I will personally buy them all first class tickets to Gaza so they can help out and leave if they care so much! But we all know they are just typical libs jumping on the virtue signaling bandwagon.

This is really going to change things for people in Gaza. It's even better than throwing soup on things. Hopefully it at least got some dudes laid with crunchy hippy chicks.
It’s nonsense and unproductive
You missed the dripping sarcasm.
