Protesters closed all major roads leading to the Lebanese capital on Monday ... small groups of demonstrators blocked the southern, northern and eastern entrances to Beirut with burning tires and by parking vehicles on the main roads. In other parts of Lebanon, army soldiers briefly opened some roads only to have protesters close them again shortly afterward.

I thought this was interesting.

With the totalitarian left in the USA increasingly acting lawlessly, this form of protest may come to the USA soon. Considering that our cities are a far-left domain, and considering how few people it takes to shut down access, it's remarkable how much irritation a small number of decent people can convey if the other side goes too far.

Conservatives could duplicate what #BlackLiesMatter and Antifa losers did, but make it far more effective. Instead of going for evening news theater, their strong area, decent people would go for economic impact - our strength. I hope the socialists will choose wisely.

It needs to happen soon or we’re doomed.

Would only take a small number of people to just park their cars on the roadways and shut down entire cities. By the time the tow trucks arrive, park some more.

It’s an interesting concept. I hope the totalitarian left will consider just how vulnerable their cities are and back off.
