Protesters shut down I-93 Northbound at East Milton Square and I-93 Southbound in the Medford-Somerville area during the Thursday morning commute causing major traffic backups, according to Massachusetts State police.
State Police reported that 17 people from the Medford protest were under arrest and being processed.
The protest was organized by the Boston contingent of the group Black Lives Matter, according to an Associated Press report.
In a statement posted Thursday morning on the groups Facebook page, the protest was held to disrupt business as usual and protest police and state violence against Black people.
The protesters have been removed from the Medford scene, according to State police.
In Milton, I-93 Northbound at East Milton Square Road was again closed while police removed protesters from the lanes.
Here are photos from the scene in Milton, where State police reported that protesters attached themselves to 1,200-pound barrels . . .

George Soros funds Ferguson protests, hopes to spur civil action
Retarded rich honky kiddies. Throw them all in jail. They aren’t doing anything useful with their lives anyway. Let them pick up trash along I-93.
I’m thinking of the really nice UBER drivers I had in Boston last fall. They were all black and if the traffic is bad, they lose money. The cost of a trip is fixed and if they are there running the engine to keep from freezing and wasting their time then they are not making any money.
Like the Occupy people, they were protesting something or other.
Last year, I drove through the center of a sleepy Cape Cod town. It was raining. A half-dozen 70+ year olds were out in the rain with anti-war and other societal discontent signs. I had to laugh—no one paid attention, and at their age, they weren’t likely to relive the excitement of political pickup sex.
Aimless, meaningless protests: keepin’ the dream alive.
These are stupid spoiled privileged white morons.
Black Protesters don’t usually get up that early in the morning.
why warm and why soapy
Plain ole 32 degree water will work just fine
plus it always Fat Ugly bitches
Why don’t these white kids, who say black.lives matter, work against the ongoing violence in the black community where blacks constantly shoot other blacks???
Or do black lives not matter if being shot by other blacks? Or don’t matter if one shoots another over a dispute in a craps game or over drug deals gone bad, or other gang issues?
It is sort of like choosing a groin shot over a head shot.
The home of the Boston Tea Party. Wonder if these barrels float?
Likely more than the total number of people killed by all Massachusetts law enforcement in the past five years combined.
They should have picked them up and put them in the old town square. Then run adds all over the radios letting people know where they can come to give them well wishes...note my sarc..
Why is Soros still among the living?
Call it the Instagram-selfie protest.
Coneheads?
