I'm all for the right to protest but this isn't the way to do it. This just creates more opposition to their protesting.

If someones thinks genocide is okay because they got inconvenienced by some protesters, then the problem is with them. Fuck them.

Most of those people don't give a shit about wars halfway across the world, and holding them up from their three o'clock certainly isn't incentivizing the cause. And what of emergency services? I hope they all get punished to the fullest extent of the law.

People always post this tired nonsense in any topics like this. This is exactly the way to do it. The point IS to force people to pay attention and get them mad.

Not to mention the sheer optics. Barely been a few weeks since the Maryland bridge collapse and you know know that thought is on people's minds when they have to cross a bridge on their commute.

Oh and that march picture clearly shows that you didn't read just how much planning went into their protests. They made sure alternate routes were available and made efforts to minimize disruption while maintaining clear optics on what attainable goals they wanted.

But aren't they also blocking people who agree with them? It seems like an inefficient strategy.

I'm sure the average person trying to get to work so they aren't homeless doesnt care about it in the slightest.

So you're telling me there are places willing to fire employees because they're late once over something they can't control? How is that different from the bridge being blocked for a festival parade or traffic accident?

Just to clear the matter, what's your thoughts on the CCP's treatment of the Uyghur people?

Some places won't care and some will. The parade thing you would know about ahead of time and plan accordingly, if you can't then that's your fault.

A good protest is really hard to do, and is more than just the disruption.

That doesn't help their cause, on the contrary.

That aside, even though I'm all for stopping Netanyahu and his regime in Gaza, you can always see anti-semitic signs on these protest movements.

It's a legitimate and important cause to stand for peace, don't get me wrong. But it is no justification to tolerate intolerant or even discriminatory people in your own protest movement.

Didn't take long for the civil rights movement to be brought up, it never does. The simple minded position that all protests I agree with, no matter how they're done, can and will be compared to the civil rights movement. If you can paint your opposition as someone who would oppose the civil rights movement, why they must be horrible people, and you're just that more morally correct in your position.

More of the stupid argument games this place loves.

Hilarious considering that MLK, the Civil Rights movement and anti-Vietnam War protesters were largely hated in the 1960s. It was only decades later that racial segregation and the Vietnam War were seen as mistakes, while right wingers who hated MLK back in the day are now trying to depict him as some sort of conservative who would have hated BLM.

You must work in a horrid place if you can easily get fired for something out of your control.

Cute that you think most employers care about whether your lateness was due to something within your control or not.
Poor Golden Gate Bridge. First it was Caesar and his ape army, then it was Godzilla, followed by a battle between Terminators, and now protestors? That bridge never gets a break
tldr
I'm going to go and shut down the highway in protest of people being fired for things outside their control.
