Gaza war protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, block traffic in other cities
Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.

Veraxus @lemmy.world There has got to be a way to do this without hurting regular people.
Like I agree with the protestors 100%... but trapping people on a bridge? Blocking traffic? That's dangerous and irresponsible.
Direct action and disruption is necessary, but this is absolutely the wrong way to do it.

Otkaz @lemmy.world Nothing like exercising your right to protest by infringing on everyone else's right to travel freely.
34 31 ReplyTangledHyphae @lemmy.world I'm still curious as to how people think a ceasefire will help, when historically letting terrorists proliferate has the opposite effect and only spreads more islamic terrorism and even more deaths long term. Do people really want to keep this revolving door of teaching palestinian children to murder their neighbors?
