A pro-Palestinian protest action briefly blocked all traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

Starting at about 7:45 a.m. Protesters stopped cars and stretched banners across the roadway denouncing Israel’s bombing of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and demanding that the U.S. stop arming Israel.

Northbound and southbound traffic on the bridge was at a standstill as of 8 a.m.

      That’s a false equivalence. The traffic in front of your house is not caused by some people who can’t think of better ways to protest.

        Of course not. It is caused by people who can’t think of a better way to pollute.

        At least protesters stands for something. They are not poisoning the air for the sake of not moving their collective fat asses.

        Beside, your way of thinking about it is suspiciously close to the one of those who want protesters run over.

          Again… not the point. And that’s another false equivalency. “People with different reasons to be on the road are blocked by people are being a public threat in the name of some cause.” “Well, serves them right for being a public threat with their cars!” No, that’s not a good argument.

          your way of thinking about it is suspiciously close to the one of those who want protesters run over.

          I’m just going to pretend you didn’t write this absurd sentence.
