Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.
You think people being stuck in a traffic jam justifies RAMMING, MOWING DOWN, AND MURDERING PROTESTORS?
Because that’s the threat that was made at the top of this subthread in response to being “held hostage”
🙄 in their car.
Let me reiterate just how FUCKED and PSYCHOPATHIC that is: they think that just because they’re stuck in a traffic jam that happened to be caused by a protest, that’s somehow equated to a hostage situation and justifies them using LETHAL FORCE to escape. Because the option of simply getting out of the goddamn murder machine and walking is unfathomable to their entitled, leaded-gas-riddled mind.
Are you fucking sure that’s the position you want to be defending right now?!
When did I even imply that it justified that? Why do you think the only two options are ‘abandon your car’ or ‘run people over?’ Because I’m pretty sure the people actually on the bridge didn’t attempt either.
So are you repudiating your previous comments in this thread defending the false characterization of getting stuck in traffic as a “hostage situation” and supporting those who advocated violence against protestors?
I’m not going to follow your orders, but I already made it very clear that I do not support running over protesters, so I’m not sure why you need me to take your loyalty oath.

Read the comment that started this whole shitshow. That, ultimately, is what you’re supporting!
No, ultimately, it isn’t.
I think I have a better idea of what I support than you do.
So are you repudiating your previous comments in this thread defending the false characterization of getting stuck in traffic as a “hostage situation” and supporting those who advocated violence against protestors?
Please quote me supporting the comments that advocate such things. Let’s see where I did such a thing.
Replying in a comment chain where such things are mentioned does not indicate support.
Are you willing to say “I reject the premise that blocking traffic is a ‘hostage situation’ and I do not support violence against protestors?”
If you’re not willing to say that, well, we know where you stand.
I’m not going to follow your orders, but I already made it very clear that I do not support running over protesters, so I’m not sure why you need me to take your loyalty oath.
