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.
You think people being stuck in a traffic jam justifies RAMMING, MOWING DOWN, AND MURDERING PROTESTORS?
Because that’s the threat that was made at the top of this subthread in response to being “held hostage”
🙄 in their car.
Let me reiterate just how FUCKED and PSYCHOPATHIC that is: they think that just because they’re stuck in a traffic jam that happened to be caused by a protest, that’s somehow equated to a hostage situation and justifies them using LETHAL FORCE to escape. Because the option of simply getting out of the goddamn murder machine and walking is unfathomable to their entitled, leaded-gas-riddled mind.
Are you fucking sure that’s the position you want to be defending right now?!
When did I even imply that it justified that? Why do you think the only two options are ‘abandon your car’ or ‘run people over?’ Because I’m pretty sure the people actually on the bridge didn’t attempt either.
They definitely the type to think that is a reasonable thing to do. They also assume every single person blocked is able bodied and can travel the rest of their commute on foot, work through the day, and travel on foot back to where they were forced to abandon their car blocking the bridge without it somehow getting towed. They think this because they’re a moron.
The amount of commenters arguing that you can just leave your car in the middle of the road and that you should just “get over it” is pretty insane. How do these people live their lives lol
We are not arguing you should leave your fucking car you PUTZ, we are telling you that it’s not a hostage situation. I understand, I really do. It sucks so much to have to wait 10 minutes for once in your busy life, but to pretend that being held up is a hostage situation is fucking absurd.
Maybe you should try, see how long you can get? Oh wait, sorry, I forgot you lack the empathy and courage required to even attempt a traffic-blocking protest.
The cars in the picture don’t look like they can turn around and leave.
Cars aren’t people.
There are people in the cars trapped on a bridge. They can’t turn around and leave.
cars have doors that can open to facilitate the entering and leaving of human drivers and passangers
hope this helps!
You think people are going to just abandon their cars on the Golden Gate Bridge? Why would they do such a thing?

Read the comment that started this whole shitshow. That, ultimately, is what you’re supporting!
No, ultimately, it isn’t.
I think I have a better idea of what I support than you do.

Or just somehow sacrifice a car they paid who knows how many thousands of dollars for and never worry about it again.

Those protestors aren’t very good at protesting if they can only manage 10 minutes.
