The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

As long as they don't illegally occupy a federal office building, or vandalize, or threaten people directly, or plow into them with cars, I'm pretty sure they're on the safe side of the line. I may consider it odious, but it isn't -to my knowledge- illegal. It is, in fact, protected speech. -1pg

Good perspective. I would like to see blocking a public thoroughfare being made illegal and backed up with serious enforcement. - bhm

Addendum. Massive traffic backup on the Golden Gate Bridge, going on right now.

Five hour stand off as Pro Palestinian Protesters interrupt the lives of tens of thousands of citizens trying to go about their lives, some no doubt responding to emergencies or trying to get to the airport. Protesters chained themselves through PVC pipe and three vehicles this morning at 7:30 AM pacific time.

See it Live on Fox TV if your approved media forgets to cover it.

By the way, thousands blocking the bridge, 6 arrested and may as high as 20. Wow 20. I suppose it doesn't matter how many are arrested if none of them will be prosecuted. No deterrence equals expect more of it (same with Iranian trouble making)
