    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.

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

        Indeed, nets are probably better.

          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.

            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’ve explained it. They are proving something to themselves. That they are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, to be on the right side of history. The point is to demonstrate something about themselves to themselves, and maybe to the social group they care about. The point is not to affect change.

                                The interesting question is, for these people intent on demonstrating their virtue, how much are they actually willing to sacrifice? Not much, would be my guess. My other guess is that their plan is actually to increase their social status within the group they care about.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                    Florida, I believe, has made it a felony.

                                    If you intentionally delay someone for more than 5 minutes - off you go. Sadly, however, they're going to have to release some (alleged) illegal alien (yeah, I said it) murderers to make room.
