Well, there is one tempting solution wnylib Apr 15 #1

So, you are advocating for killing protestors obamanut2012 Apr 17 #53

That's what it sounds like. JanMichael Apr 17 #74

Are they using the saws on the barrels or the protesters? ripcord Apr 15 #2

I think the police should figure out a way to move them aside BannonsLiver Apr 16 #28

You beat me to it. And make sure to remove the eqt the protesters used to move them in the first place. keithbvadu2 Apr 17 #76

They are not winning people over with this type of protest. brer cat Apr 15 #3

The solution is simple ripcord Apr 15 #21

They need to fine them for the costs of all this! LeftInTX Apr 15 #7

Hey lets piss off middle class people trying to get to their offices by protesting and shutting down a bridge! dsp3000 Apr 15 #8

I've never understood the point of protests designed to turn people AWAY from your cause. Takket Apr 15 #12

Are you aware of the US's civil rights protests? Marcus IM Apr 15 #14

They forced people to miss cancer treatments....really???? EMS can't get through.... LeftInTX Apr 15 #16

Regardless blocking the highways is illegal ripcord Apr 15 #18

Reason the American public supported the Civil Rights movement is because they DIDN'T antagonize people. betsuni Apr 15 #23

Excellent Points, betsuni!💙 Cha Apr 16 #37

Well said.. Cha Apr 16 #46

If the protests aren't disruptive, then they're pageants that can be ignored. Orrex Apr 16 #31

Hit and Kill Laws. These are new. Now drivers can legally run protesters over if they are blocking traffic. LeftInTX Apr 16 #38

Well, posters in this thread are advocating for killing them obamanut2012 Apr 17 #55

That's so wrong. LeftInTX Apr 17 #63

Sure, but there are different levels of disruption. SYFROYH Apr 17 #61

Good point Orrex Apr 16 #32

So true! Behind the Aegis Apr 16 #44

It would be even cooler if people stopped spreading that propaganda Orrex Apr 17 #49

Believe whatever you want Mountainguy Apr 17 #50

Then you can provide independent documentation? Please do! Orrex Apr 17 #51

Thank you obamanut2012 Apr 17 #56

Being mean to people just ain't endearing at age 67. It's about as appealing as getting in a fight with a HS bully. LeftInTX Apr 16 #26

Yeah. This ain't that, though. BannonsLiver Apr 16 #27

more than 30000 people slaughtered is offensive to me and worthy of a protest of some sort. msongs Apr 16 #29

That does nothing NoRethugFriends Apr 16 #30

Survey says LeftInTX Apr 16 #33

blocking traffic was quite popular at anti war protests in the 60s which is what my first comment was about nt msongs Apr 16 #35

Maybe it was popular for the protesters and was it done on freeways with 65 mph traffic? LeftInTX Apr 16 #36

We blocked Interstate 5 in Seattle during the Vietnam War. jalan48 Apr 17 #62

They'd better have covered up the license plates of the vehicles which carried the barrels. Frasier Balzov Apr 16 #34

How about we split the difference... brooklynite Apr 17 #52

I know protestors impeded/halt traffic for the attention to the cause, but I'm opposed to it as a tactic. SYFROYH Apr 17 #59

I'm flabbergasted that there are so many people anti-peaceful protest here. Cuthbert Allgood Apr 17 #66
