By the way, thousands blocking the bridge, 6 arrested and may as high as 20.


Thousands? Where the hell did you get that idea? Looked like maybe two dozen people in 3-6 cars that just stopped shoulder to shoulder across three lanes of traffic on the bridge, got out, tossed their keys off the bridge and unfurled a banner. There were more police on the bridge than protesters. Doesn't take much to shut down traffic when hundreds of cars are forced to stop and there's no off ramp... and no way to get tow trucks around them. They eventually had to bring the tow trucks from the other direction and did their best to turn the farthest cars in back around and off one at a time.

This reminds me of the idiots that paint or destroy paintings in museums in protest. Almost anyone who might have been sympathetic to their cause hates these kinds of protests and they end up alienating people rather than gaining converts. Completely pointless.

Of course they'll be prosecuted. Stop rambling nonsense. And if 20 were arrested, that sounds like pretty much all of them (although it really only required 3-6 cars).
