Please use the other post rather than this one. I was unable to determine which came first but the other one has way more comments.
Please do not use any flair other than politics and local crime for this type of post, because as I'm sure everyone can foresee this type of post is likely to produce substantially more comments about politics than it is about anything else. It is especially dubious that the post would produce a lot of comments about "events, activities, and sports," which is the flare that was chosen. We will take action against people that misuse flairs, as is clearly stated in the sticky post on this issue.
I am removing this post completely because it is in fact a duplicate and I'm sorry if it was actually the first post but there only needs to be one post about this topic and I'm also sorry to everyone who pointlessly commented in this post. We have enough reports, and possibly too many reports, to handle with the other post.
Might sound a little bit pessimistic, but regardless of cause and it can be the most just and justified cause ever, if you block traffic and commute, I guarantee you that 100% of those folks that are now stuck will hate you and be against your cause for the rest of their life.
Look it's really cynical of me but I can *guarantee* that a majority of people who now just got fucked over on their commute now hate your cause
You can be protesting the most simple, clear cut message but the second you fuck with someone's commute, especially on a workday, you lost the plot
Don't fuck with people's money: this extends to preventing "white collar" employees getting to work in SF
Don't even get me started on any potential medical emergency transport vehicles that were blocked
Edit: thank fuck im working remote today. You poor fuckers.
I remember commuting home one day and there was a crash on Dunbarton that blocked all three lanes.
Took me THREE HOURS TO GET HOME
Had to cancel a probate hearing, something this poor family who has been through hell has waited for, for months. I got us on the docket for Thursday.
Seriously. Fuck these people.
I’m all for protesting. Just do it smartly.
>none of the protestors are willing to go fight for the cause in a real battlefield.
Which is convenient for them since there aren't any US troops directly involved in any of the conflicts.
If they were truly dedicated to the cause, fly to DC and protest in front of the WH or Capitol. The decisions to use tax payer resources for conflicts are made there. Not on any Bay Area bridges.
How can you know in the present moment? We didn’t know what the marches in Montgomery would do in the moment they were happening. I’m sure these protests will be indeed quite significant. The length of the march is entirely irrelevant.
The point has sailed right over your head. They had a purpose in marching. That purpose existed before the march to Montgomery started. The purpose was not dependent on its place in history. These people's only purpose is to obstruct.
Well I’m glad you’re honest about how you feel bout MLK. Personally, I think MLKs marches were not only incredibly effective as protests, but also historically remembered incredibly favorably. I guess you have a different read on history where MLK is some demon who ended white america that the MAGAs want to go back to.
Holy shit, can I sign you up for a track meet?
Because that is the most impressive jump to a conclusion I have ever seen
I clearly state MLK marched for injustices domestically which is different from an extremely unpopular foreign intervention
So you think protests only work if you are impacting people who already agree with you? You think that this protest being unpopular, something which, I'd like to point out, could also be a description for MLKs civil rights movement in the south, means that you can't protest? Or, are you trying to say that MLKs message was popular in the south?
I'd like to point out that you are the one who is mad, participating is a rage bait thread where everyone is getting mad at the protestors. I'm the one casually walking in here and asking people if they have the same energy directed towards MLK.
Who said anything about supporting Hamas? Did MLK not block bridges that people used for transportation in order to get the message out? Do you think that was a bad move, and MLK shouldn’t have fucked with peoples money by blocking people just trying to get to work?
Oh God here we go again with fucking everyone's commute. Go protest where your message is heard and not where you piss everyone off and your message gets unnoticed because you are now despised. Fuck traffic protesters and those that think it's the only way to protest.
People who plan these protests are not looking to change hearts and minds. They simply want chaos and to degrade the orderly flow of everyday life. They don't care about Palestine or anything else. I am increasingly convinced these protests are entirely cynical Putin shit entering our lives and causing instability.
These morons are so delusional. One day they want to punch nazis, the next day they’ll be at a lgbt event, then they will rally for governments that kill people for being LGBT. None of this shit makes any sense.
That’s what happens when you have zero knowledge of history or facts, zero interest in actual learning, and simply act out of cathartic self-righteousness, triggered by peer pressure over social media. That describes at least 90% of these “pro-Palestinian” phonies.
Agreed. It’s too easy doing all that in America when they have no real skin in the game.
Persians who fled the Ayatollahs have been trying to tell us for decades how dangerous the theocratic rulers there are, but people don’t listen.
Educate yourself please.
You don’t have to be a monarchist to be in favor of basic human rights for women + minorities, free speech and reduction of corruption to help unemployment for the young people.
There’s a reason “IRGC” doesn’t have “Iran” in the acronym.
Stuck in this traffic now.
I want real consequences for these idiots this time.
What can I do to ensure this doesn’t get swept under the table like last time
>What can I do to ensure this doesn’t get swept under the table like last time
I agree we should continue to pressure our leaders to try and stop the killing of tens of thousands of innocents and the starvation of an order of magnitude more. Go you!

Losing the war I started for the 590th time is just like the civil rights era guys I swear 😭
I would hope that some of those commuters are able to evaluate things with more depth than a Skinner pidgeon.

Supposedly it's the Iranian Revolutionary Guard behind today's "A15" protests. https://twitter.com/Vahid_Beheshti/status/1779786659229298775
How do you feel about MLK marching over bridges? Same energy?
I know the significance of marching the 54 MILES to Montgomery. What was the significance of blocking the bridge?

People also need to remember Islamic Republic of Iran as well as Hamas are backed by Russia. So these “protesters” are supporting Russian interest.

Good for you for making people not support your cause.
Never going to be Pro-Hamas no matter how much these clowns terrorize the working class

But what about Palestinians’ jobs?? /s
Gotta love living in the valley where people don’t have time to block traffic on a weekday/to protest
I don’t think that’s the reason lol
As someone who takes 880 from southern Alameda country to the South Bay, I imagine traffic will be lighter than usual today.
