First of all, that bit about Christie being scarce, very true, I hadn’t noticed.
As a regular user of that George Washington bridge, man I am, and was, furious about that Christie gang intentionally closing that bridge to punish a political opponent.
Hear me out.
THE ONLY PEOPLE THEY PUNISHED WERE WORKING PEOPLE LIKE ME! People travelling after a tiring day of work, a long trip up north....whatever...THEY suffered. Christie’s political opponent didn’t sit in traffic for hours and hours.
That bridge is forever a pain and to close it down like they did, man they deserve to go to jail.
And anybody who thinks Christie didn’t have anything to do with it, I got a bridge to sell....cheap, can be shut down with no notice.
Finally, I agree that had the Democrats pulled this same stunt nothing would have been done about it. But having politicos punish US, the people who carry this country on our backs, is not what we want and just keep this in mind.
Closing a 14 lane double-decked bridge carrying more vehicles per year than any other bridge in the world is what the media wants us to believe. No one should have blocked any lanes, but this involved 2 of the lanes. Think of how much money was involved in prosecuting this case. I don't trust Christie so I am glad he has little chance of being any part of a Trump administration.
Black lives Matter types blocked interstate highways more than once in the past couple of years in and near Baltimore. Of course it never made national news.
