Full comments, over 700 comments as of this post. Lots to choose from, but here are a few comment chains with lots of popcorn:

I'm sure the current situation in Gaza will improve immediately now.

Why protest against Israel when they should protest against Hamas?

I would get out of my car and join the protest

You know where it's at, what's stopping you?

I'm currently in the hospital with a broken leg

LMAO

Imagine if you were trying to get to the hospital over that bridge rn

I'm grateful my hospital hasn't been bombed

How does blocking a bridge support that?

It's an extremely mild inconvenience that will not end the war in Gaza. Releasing the hostages and eliminating Hamas will though.

Ah yes, another day of people on this sub not understanding that it is the purpose of a protest to be inherently disruptive.

Palestinians (currently being massacred by Israel with munitions and political support from us) have asked for a worldwide protest today they've asked for a boycott on all spending, for people to not spend any money anywhere today and a worldwide show of solidarity. Obviously, none of you got the memo. 👍

A good leftist protest would be to organize a national bank run day, imo. What better way to protest capitalism than to destroy banks? If you get a small % of people to do it in protest, you'll get wayyy more trying to do it to save themselves.

>We must make everyone aware of what everyone is already aware of!

I like the 'it must be inherently disruptive' argument they always make, as though these are the same moderates of the 50s who maybe wanted to see blacks earn equal rights now, maybe wanted to see them earn it later... Like, MLK was doing sit-ins to demonstrate unjust laws. What are these people demonstrably after? What is the goal?

All you do when you make me late in going to Potpourri World to buy more potpourri to inhale is ideate your immediate and violent destructions. My only hope for your cause is its public embarrassment and miscarriage. Your people should be annihilated (whoever that may be) and I hope your children are stomped out by whatever boot you're crying is on your neck now. This goes just for people for whom I hold the door and from whom I don't hear a thank you; and drivers and pedestrians whom I let pass and from whom I don't see the little wave. Persons who go out of their way to upset the public deserve Dantean punishment: limbs endlessly growing back for all eternity to be dully rechopped; gelid fires from which they can never find lee or flee from; sulfuric shit tubed from their fat asses back into their noses and mouths, putrifying and reputrifying every recycle.

I've never actually encountered this level of inconvenience myself, because I'm lately able to order my potpourri online; but I imagine it sucks.
