Protesters shut down Chicago highway!

What up with that?

I think protesting down the middle of a major road has such potential for loss of life, someone, at some point, should have opted for something else. Are there any grownups in charge?

I’m not good at this ranting thing. I just think the potential for a jacknifed semi and dozens of protesters and motorists smashed to bits is too great a risk for a publicity stunt.

The Quakers, they know how to protest.

I’ll link when I can find one. I just saw footage on MSNBC.

I missed the other thread on protesting in traffic. I have posted my feeble rant over there.

I heard about a similiar incident in DC. Since we are at war, and since they are blocking interstate commerce/transportation of war material/etc, can the cops in these cities finally grow some balls and whip out the batons?
