Protesters calling for cease-fire in Gaza shut down SB 110 Freeway in downtown LA
ABC ^ | 12/12/2023

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip walked onto the 110 Freeway in downtown L.A. on Wednesday morning and forced the closure of all southbound lanes.

The demonstration on the freeway began shortly after 9 a.m. and brought traffic to a standstill on one side of the freeway. Northbound traffic was not affected.

California Highway Patrol officers were at the scene as violent skirmishes broke out among some frustrated drivers and the protesters, who were seated in a row that spanned across the southbound lanes. An occasional motorcycle would break through the line and drive onward on the empty freeway.

A 7-foot tall makeshift menorah was erected as one of the demonstrators used a bullhorn to address the others.

Shortly before 10 a.m., CHP officers began approaching the protesters individually, tying their hands with zip-ties and taking them into custody without incident.

Sound like someone is in need of a semi load of poorly secured logs.

The world’s first freeway, I think. They might have picked it because it was relatively easy to bottle up.

Even better: a truckload of pigs with a poorly secured door; the truck conveniently “breaks down” and the pigs “mysteriously” run in the direction of the protesters.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Google says Gaza is 7572 miles from Los Angeles.

How exactly does criminally inconveniencing average/working-class people in Los Angeles stop a war going in in Gaza?

Some of the demonstrators appear to be switch hitters.

Bring in the Tribal Police who handled this problem at Burning Man Festival! Crack heads, smash bodies, bloody them up. Forcibly haul them off in seconds. Maybe even shoot a few.

deport the IsamoNazi infiltrators and send their citizen-Useful Idiots to prison. 5 years for a first offense should maybe do it.
We don’t need or want this kind of Krap in America!!

That's a good police response. But they need to teach the bastards a lesson. Quit pussy-footing around.

They pulled this stunt inside the I-94 Lowry tunnel in downtown Minneapolis a few days ago during rush hour. A huge traffic mess. The Minneapolis police did nothing.

I’m guessing that some big shot on the city council sitting in a limo got stuck in the traffic and got mad and made a phone call, because two hours later the police suddenly arrested everybody.

The revenge of the bowling pins.

I live in a heavily Republican area full of gun owners. When the BLM marchers appeared a few years back, locals with weapons were standing alongside the streets and businesses. Made for a very polite march.

Wife and me were driving past a local campus and a couple dozen Pally sympathizers were out yesterday. All smiling and waving. That’s what people carrying firearms bring about.

What is the impact of the swine on the Jewish protestors? I don’t get it.

I don’t understand how they can be “IsamoNazi” and Jewish at the same time

Sorry about that the protesters were muzzies; in that case the pigs would have a hoot to see.
