Walking to the Airport

This is why we have the death penalty.

[Horace]

Imagine the penalties imposed on "white supremacists" if they did this sort of thing.

[LuFins Dad]

Walk through the protest and hand out MAGA hats and see what happens…

[Mik]

I think an hour of incarceration for every person's hour you wasted would be pretty fair, although there could be an argument made for a day rather than an hour. So let's say on a Chicago freeway you held up 24,000 people for an hour. That would be 1,000 days in jail. Seems proportionate.

[George K]

They should get what pro-lifers are looking at for blocking the sidewalk to an abortion clinic.

[Renauda]

Naw, I’d just throw them over the bridge rail.

Why waste time with paperwork?

There are nets along the sides of the Golden Gate Bridge to prevent suicide. That'll just make a bigger mess.

Once again, I return to the whiff...

[Copper]

Nets are even better, leave them there for everyone to see.

[Renauda]

Indeed, nets are probably better.

[Mik]

yeah, but you still have to do something to get them out. I'm thinking wood shampoos would be better. Any time you think your political ax to grind supercedes your fellow citizens' right to pass unimpeded you have a whacking coming.

@Mik

wood shampoos

Never heard it called that. Very apt in more ways than one.

It's simple...Treat them like the Jan 6 rioters (who most had much less effect on people's lives than these people).

I truly do not understand how the cops (such as in the first video) are just parked there watching them. They should be immediately arrested for <whatever> on a public roadway.

Just a guess - Chicago Police have no jurisdiction on interstate roads. That's state police.

Like Jan 6, I guess the police could shoot one of them, but the target probably wouldn't be a veteran.

Similar has happened elsewhere.

I dont understand how something like this would make me more sympathetic to their reason for protesting?

Perhaps you could ask the "No Oil" art defacers for some insight?

[taiwan_girl]

@George-K Yeah, I dont understand those either.
